BT Sport with Sky Multiroom

Question

So the nice man I just phoned at BT tells me that BT Sport isn't available on sky multiroom. I thought he was kidding. I've got BT Broadband, (Unfortunately - Most reliable Internet connetion my left bum cheek) so the service should be free anyway. Alas, I even offered to pay for the additional box to be registered but apparently it can't be done. So can someone explain what the technical reason for this is? It's hardly an uncommon set up for a household to have more than one sky box, so surely this problem was not an oversight? I half expected it to be a money spinner for BT but for once I couldn't even pay you for your poor service.
In any case, you've given me the choice of watching the Liverpool game over your dreadful internet connection or the pain of watching Celtic with my dad in the living room. Saturday ruined.

It's BT's choice not to offer Multiroom, not Sky. Sky do after all
If BT's excuse is that it's too expensive, they should levy a charge so they break even - simples.
It's not BT's choice. A commercial agreement is needed and one cannot be reached at a price that makes economic sense. 
BTW "simples" just makes you sound like an idiot.  Have you ever thought of trying to act and speak like an adult?
Of course one could be reached if BT had the will to do it. It would obviously cheaper than a full 2nd package which BT have also failed to offer.
BTW an ad hominem attack is the last resort of a lost argument
In this case it's just a matter of finding people who quote a puppet from a TV advert in the mistaken belief that it makes them sound clever or pithy, ever so slightly immature and shallow. You're one of about a million posters who do it across the web, there's nothing profound, wise, sassy, original, or witty about it. 
A deal has not been reached because the negotiations have failed to produce a price BT are happy with. 
That might change, but it also might not and people may find that this is one of those instances in life where stomping feet, posting stroppiness on forums and threatening to go elsewhere won't produce the result they want. 
As for a second subscription, without the access to Sky's multiroom authentication system there's no way BT could be sure the second cards were being used in the addresses they're registered to. There's zip reason for them to take the chance.
