Looking to switch to BT TV Entertainment Extra, I've already got a (retail) BT YouView+ box, if I wanted to use that as a secondary box would I have to pay the monthly £5pm extra, or is that purely if you're getting a box directly from BT?

Also a side note, is it still 2 Freeview recordings and 1 IPTV recording available at the same time?

2 recordings at the same time and watch a third on same multiplex on Feeview, or 2 internet channels whilst watching a freeview channel and vice versa.
I had a retail box also and I tried the multuroom thing but it caused the loss of all the BT channels on my main box! I had to phone BT to get them back. so I guess you'll need to pay for multuroom.

Only if you wish to watch the BT channels on both boxes otherwise you can have multiroom for free,
as the retail Youview box is just essentially an old "Freeview" box

I have two youview boxes, one from BT with subscription, the other one was given to me ex BT box. I tried twice to get multi room and pay the £5, Both times I was turned down. They did not say as much but implied the second box has to come from BT.
If some one knows differently please let me know.

This is true. You will not be able to subscribe to multi room without BT supplying the extra box. Also depends on your line speed, if too low then you will get nada, nought, nothing.
