I have had sky for the past three years and is connected to the phone line (although after the initial 12 mths it doesn't need to be).

I went to order a movie through box office last week but a message came up saying insufficient funds left, to do so.  Any ideas??

Also, what is the best/easiest way of diverting the sky signal throughout the house without the use of another box?

at the back of your sky box you will have 2 rf out sockets,use 1 of these and take the coax cablr from there to your roofspace where you can connect it to the input of a distribution amp and from there run cables to as many rooms as you like,the only down side to this is that you can only watch the channel at which the sky box is set to in your main room.you can add a magic eye to your other rooms which will allow you to change the sky channel without actually getting up and going to your main room to turn to another station.

Video sender are the best way.

video senders are useless,everytime somebody walks into the room the picture goes haywire,there that bad we have stopped selling them because we got noting but complaints
I don't know what crap you where selling , my friend has 2 in his house with no problem ,I've used them fine too . The digital ones are in the 2.4 range are grand

Laying cables is a major pain in the arse ,most place will let you return them if theirs any problem i'd look in the senders first before running cables all over
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

I recently bought a new-build with the Sky dish already installed and the cabling through the house for multiroom if I wanted it, telephone line beside the socket etc.

I had to go through a certain company though, people who specialise in installing it in blocks of flats, despite mine being a house.  Didn't get the chance of any offers for installation due to that.  

The only problem I had was getting BT to come and flick on a switch or whatever (phone line was already in the house as well) and pay them £129 for 1mins work.
