    You can buy a wireless kit from B & Q which I believe is designed to do what you require, they cost around £20.

    The one the definately works is the Teknika - £24.99 from Tesco because I have one. The remote control works upstairs - so you can change the chanel from your bedroom -

    be wary though as only a few video senders work with the NTL remote control (sending pictures works with all models though), the majority don't

    hi mr t, i have looked on the website, but cant seem to find anything that matches with that price, being very cheeky, do you think you could have a look and copy a link- sorry it all just looks like wires to me, but not sure which is the right one, many thanks
