Hi Daran.

Good point and worth considering as I don't really need multi-room.  Not 
sure however about the accessibility and I think it's a little more 
expensive.  I've been a SKY customer for 12 months, so I could unsubscribe 
and subscribe again in a few weeks time, with the Sky Plus.  Certainly worth 
more consideration eh?


Thanks.

Best wishes.
