I would like to get sky tv on my upstairs bedroom tv (using the same sky box) i dont mind having to watch the same channel because the downstairs tv is HARDLY used anyway.

How can i do this without wireless tv senders (they suck..)

    You need a Sky TV-Link, or magic eye.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Run a cable from RF2 out and install a magic eye - job done

    What do you mean RF2 out? is there 2 ports?

    and what cable...just a co-ax?

    There are two RF outputs on the back of the box.

    Normal coax will be fine.

    Not quite..cheap coax is rubbish so you are better spending a little more & getting the correct grade of cable.
    If I had a penny for every fault I've been to where the home owner has done a DIY or had work done by a spark who's used cheapo !!!! & it's caused problems,I'd have enough for a few pints!

    Best use a WF100 Cable or the newer equivelent.(sorry,Can't remember what it's called now....old age!)
