Can anyone offer advice...
I would like to be able to watch Sky in my bedroom, but only have a box in the lounge connected to the main TV. In my old house this meant using a "Magic Eye" which was used in conjunction with cable that had to be attached from the Sky dish to the portable TV. I could only watch what is being played on the main TV, but I didn't mind that.
I have been told that this can now be done wirelessly, but have no idea where to start. Are any makes better than any other and, more importantly, do they actually work?
Any advice needs to be really really simple please, as I have no prior knowledge of anything technical.
Thanks.
