Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone knew if there is any way of watching sky on my 2nd tv without paying for multiroom - I have a spare sky+ box and there is a 2nd sky cable where I want it, from the previous occupiers.
Thanks

You can transmit the signal from your subscribed box to another tv but you can't have seperate feeds.Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0 -
Get yourself a TV-Link cheap as chips.

I effectively get multiroom by plugging my laptop into a 2nd TV via VGA/Audio output and using SkyGo; can also get on a 3rd set by use of wife's netbook connected via same method.0

These signal sending things, would be unwatchable if someone used the microwave or any other kind of similar thing.0

Videosenders are limited, by law, to a very low level signal. Consequently, they are all susceptible to interference from nearby equipment.0

The early video senders (and most of the ones on the market) use 2.4ghz, which is similar to other devices. However, you can buy senders that use 5.8ghz, so you don't get interference from other devices. My signal improved considerably when I bought some new ones using 5.80
