can i watch sky in 3 rooms ???

can i watch sky in 3 rooms using only 1 box.

i have a sky box in my main living room and i can watch sky in my bedroom using a tv link/magic eye , but can i watch sky in a further room without getting a second box.

You can watch it in lots of rooms (think about the TV shop that have sky on hundreds of tellys all at once) but the remote magic eye will only work from one location.

My Sky box has an RF output. My house has an aerial system. All cabling is of the 75 ohm type. I connected the RF output into the aerial system and now any TV in the house can tune into it. Sky (but just one channel at a time) everywhere.

i have just updated an analogue tv to digital - used to be able to get sky via analogue, but can't seem to get it via digital now (?)

Sorry not sure exactly what you mean by this. Have you bought a new TV? How is the Sky box connected to the TV and how was it connected previously if different.

You won't.

Does your TV not have an analogue tuner?

Or have they stopped making TVs with analogue tuners?

sure theres 2 rf out on the back of the sky boxes.. would only get the same channel on all 3 though.. could get a quad lnb and run a feed from the dish to another box, would give you some channels, (muliti room is £10 per month if want same pacage)

theres also sky go if you have xbox or pc where you can register 2 device and watch sky via the internet. ( our kids use this in there bedroom to watch there own stuff)

You can run as many as you like, they will all show the same satellite channel though. of course you can use the internal tuner to watch other stuff.

Not heard of TVs only having digital tuners.

The other alternative is you can use something like an Xbox360 and watch Sky Player - which includes a load of the live channels, the movies and sport (if you subscribe) and sky anytime plus (their catch-up service).

you will need an internet connection for the Xbox though.
