sky tv

Living in a digital no go area, I have just invested in a sky dish and set top box,now I can get channel 5 (coo). Is there a method of getting this signal to other tvs in the house? For example the bedrooms and kitchen?

Thank you in advance.

    Id use a TV sender unit such as a Gigavideo.

    Is Channel 5 the only station you can recieve? It might be worth considering getting a £20 Freesat card.

    You can either use video senders as suggested above or you can the old route and literally run a cable from the back of the sky box to any other tv you want to view the picture on. There is even a spare RF2 socket to connect another co-ax cable to without needing a line splitter.

    Without Sky+ however you would only be able to watch ONE channel on the sky box at any one time (just on as many tv's as you want).
