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.
