Have been watching BT vision and sport on two BT boxes. One was disconnected today by BT and when tuning to extra bt channel message came up saying they'd detected more than one box connected. They gave a procedure to prioritise the box I wanted to connect. This didn't work so I phoned them. Now costs an extra £5/month for additional boxes !! Box required re setting up so lost all my recordings !!!

They've actually being charging £5 extra a month for a fair few month now, Originally if you had access to a second box weather it be another BT you bought from some were else a retail or even a talktalk branded one you could get all you stuff on the second box too, When BT started to officially offer multiroom they added the £5PM charge but some people reported that their own second boxes still worked for free some said they had stopped, BT have been implementing blocking second boxes for a while now so it seams its only just hit you

Thanks Ash for that. Have had great difficulty in starting the box since. Do they block everything?

As far as I'm aware defo the premium channels and I think bt player on demand though all other on demand stuff works fine. I pay the fiver a minty as it also gets the phone app to watch on the go too included in that so not bad.
