new sky+ app - tv in 2 rooms

just wanted to make people aware of the really cool new sky+ app (which I use on the ipad)
it lets you control your sky+ box completely using your device over your home wifi.
This means you can connect a second tv in another room via the 2nd rf cable socket on the back of the box, and control the sky box from within that room using your ipad or other device.
cool.

I don't understand what you connect to the tv in another room - do you run a cable from the Sky box?

Yes, it sounds just like the Sky TV link which has been around for years.

The difference is that the remote control function is performed using the 'phone and home wi-fi.
It still means the other TV shows only the single channel tuned on the digibox and only via a low quality RF connection.

So not really that "cool" in this age of high definition, 3D and 5.1 sound.
