Can i watch Sky in another room (without getting multi room or putting a new lead in)

mum_to_izzy

Is there a gadget I could buy that can do this, I would like sky upstairs, but can't have any leads drilled through the walls?

There is a video sender at Aldi this week for £19.99. Be aware that you have to watch the same channel in both rooms with these devices.

I have this one, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thomson-VS680U-Wireless-Sender-Control/dp/B0019M6GZ6/ref=pd_cp_ce_1?pf_rd_p=136153791&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0019M4G58&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=16CCMNZ5R9PA7YB1EBYG

Works a treat & controls Sky from your bedroom.

Am I right that you can actually watch any Sky chanel in your bedroom rather than what ever one is on your main tv?

You transmit whatever channel you are watching on Sky through to your Tv in a bedroom. You cannot watch a different channel on each Tv.

It is really used for going to bed & watching Sky/freeview as long as nobody is wanting to watch Sky/freeview on the main Tv. I hope I have made it clear enough.

Thanks! Am I right that you can watch what ever channel you want in the bedroom providing no one is watching Sky on the main tv?

Yes that is correct.

Sorry for hi-jacking this thread but it has got me thinking. The box from Amazon is approximately £19 and I was offered a Sky+ box for £49, £30 more. Could I keep my ordinary Sky box, put it in the bedroom, and get the new Sky+ box and put it in the main room? If yes, would I need another Sky card or cables?

Yes you could do that, and you would need cables & a card. This would mean you would have Sky multiroom( £10 extra per month).

Is the Sky+ box from Sky itself? I am not sure but if it is I think you would use your current card & would need a second card for the other box.( Sky would charge you multiroom for this)

Someone on here might have a way around this method.

you would need a quad LNB, more cables, a card and a sub to sky to use the pvr features
