SKY HD & 3D streaming to multiple TV's

stuman78

Hi Everyone,

I haven't seen this question asked and can't find a solution on the web...

What I'm looking to do is have one SKY box connected in the bedroom to the dish, and then stream this somehow to a HD 3D TV in the kitchen which will be wall hung and also into the living room which will also be wall hung..

I've seen solutions for this via a WHDI transmitter and receiver however you only seem to be able to get a single receiver - and for my setup I would need 2 (one in the kitchen and one in the living room).

Has anyone on this forum been able to do this or is the technology just not quite there yet?

Many thanks for your assistance!

You'd need to buy multi-room subscriptions for this. The only "streaming" you can do is from the internet, you certainly won't get 3D (or even HD) over a "magic eye" type device.

It's very expensive and will require running cables over your home but a Slingbox with Slingcatchers may give you the functionality you require, although I don't know whether they can transmit in 3D. They can manage HD.

However, Slingboxes only allow one device to access the stream it creates at once.

You can run a Slingbox over a LAN but as far as I know, unless a new model has been released, the Slingcatcher will only function if connected to the router hence the need for lots of cable running.

As I say, it is very expensive to do this. The HD version of the Slingbox is about £220 and Slingcatchers are about £200 each.

You could also use a Slingbox and then access the Slingbox stream through a device with HDMI output, such as a laptop or some tablet computers but this would require connecting the device to the TV everytime you wanted to use it.
