    Yes can only watch what the main sky box is showing, also needs a coax running between the sky box and the second tv.

    We have one does work well.

    Yep, useful for a bedroom TV or for the kds room.

    Be warned though, you have to watch the same channel as the main TV! You cant have Sky One on downstairs and MTV in the bedroom, the device just sends the same sky signal from the box to another TV.

    Those are the best type as,unlike the ones supplied by Sky,the main block does not plug into the airial port on the TV directly,the little lead does instead,which means the is less chance of the soldered connections inside breaking off if the TV is pushed back into the TV cabinet.

    Seen similar on ebay £3.89 + free postage no 270634994229 .

  • cant get cashback with amazon
  • cant get cashback with amazon

    £4.89 less 4% cashback is £4.70

    It's £4.46 at amazon so still cheaper even without cashback, although you can go through nectar, which I think is 1 nectar point per £ unless they have a special offer on.

    You have to run a cable from the Sky box to the remote TV. Then you can watch what the Sky box is tuned to.

    With this widget in the cable at the remote TV end you can then use a second Sky remote control to change Sky channels from the remote TV. (to the annoyance of anyone watching the main tv!! :D )
