View sky box in another room?

I tried a wireless sender, and it interfered with the Wi-Fi internet signal in the house.

Sky in their wisdom no longer have an RF2 output on the latest WiFi enabled boxes. You now have to buy anIO adapter in addition to the Magic eye.

They just want to encourage more Multi-Screen subscriptions!

That's the problem with having too many wireless-enabled devices in the home.

You need to get a video sender in the 5.8ghz range, not the 2ghz range which the cheaper senders operate on and which do interfere with wi-fi and can also get upset if you put on a microwave oven, etc.

An example here

and from a wi-fi angle, it might be operating on a crowded frequency anyway, I use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en_GB to see what my neighbours are using and then select a channel that is less crowded, but if you're using the older 2ghz range senders then you'll still have problems.

(Unless you also have Wi-Fi in the 5GHz range...)

cable from one of the rf outlets on the back to the tv where you require the signal.

rf2 you may need to turn "on" via installers menu.

I have the Emprex senders which work reasonably well (Some minor dropouts when moving between the units)

These look to be equivalent if you have spare RCA sockets on Sky box
