Taking a big step towards increasing family harmony with a Sky Multiroom subscription

It’s a regular argument that rips families apart – brothers and sisters divide, fathers sleep on the couch, babies cry and pets cower in the corner. Yes, it’s the nightly squabble over who gets to watch what on the television – sports fans will always clash with Downton Abbey fans, and the list of potential clashes is almost endless.

However, there is a way that Sky customers can solve this problem and watch what they want to in peace rather than having to battle every night to get control of the TV. The company’s Multiroom service is available to anyone with a Sky TV package for an extra monthly fee, and allows customers to watch the programmes they want in one room while someone else watches a different programme in another room. If you watch your programmes in high-definition, you will only need one HD subscription to enjoy HD in the second room, though the television will obviously need to be able to support HD.

In terms of the box you will be provided with, it’s your choice whether you go for a standard-definition or high-definition box – whichever you choose, it will be provided free of charge. However, you may want to watch TV in more than one extra room – if you do, you’ll have to pay for any additional extra digital boxes as well as extra subscriptions to Sky multiroom.

Although this service will obviously add more money every month on to your bill, it’s necessary if you want to avoid the arguments about what to watch every evening. It’s also worth considering recording programmes using the digital box if you can so some programmes can be watched at a later date – for more details log on to the company’s website.

When it comes to TV, Sky never fails to satisfy and even impress its customers with amazing deals. Sky allows you to create your own TV package according to what you like to watch, which means you won't have to pay for other channels that you don't need.

Sky provides a selection of TV channel packages which are categorised according to their genres, so you can tailor your overall package to suit your own personal preferences. Sky Entertainment is the most basic package, but still provides 40 different channels to keep your family happy. This package includes lifestyle, drama and comedy channels. For an additional 52 channels you can pay just £5 more a month to upgrade to Entertainment Extra. This includes everything from the Entertainment package, plus documentaries, news, sports, music and kids' channels, so it's sure to keep your whole household entertained for hours.

If that's not enough generosity for you, Sky offers additional packages which you can add to personalise your service even more. Sky Movies will entertain you for hours, with 12 channels including Sci Fi and Horror, Comedy, Indie and Disney Cinemagic. The Sky Movies Premiere channel releases new blockbuster movies every week, showing them at least a year before any other movie subscription provider. If you hook up your Sky Box to your broadband router, you can access Sky On Demand, with a choice of hundreds of films to watch whenever it suits you.

Another additional package Sky offers is Sky Sports. This will give you access to six sports channels, with live coverage of over 100 different sports. There's even a channel dedicated to F1, showing every single race.

If you're often on the go, and think you wont have much time to enjoy all this great TV, Sky can prove you wrong. With Sky Go, you can access Sky channels via your iPhone, iPad, Xbox 360, laptop or Android smartphone (only available on selected models), wherever you are. Sky channels are also available in HD. Sky provides the widest range of HD channels, which show five times more picture detail than non-HD channels, giving you an outstanding viewing experience. If you have a 3D TV, you can enjoy a selection of 3D channels, and if you have a busy household, Sky Multiroom will allow everybody to access a different channel in a different room, all at once.
