Sky tv to other rooms?

Do these digi-senders only work on Sky, I have Cable tv and would love a tv upstairs minus the wires, also would one of these digi-boxes interfere with internet wireless?

My sender plugs into the scart output of my Sky + box. Logically speaking, you can connect it up to any scart output and it would transmit it - so you could use it with an NTL box, VCR, DVD player etc... In fact, I believe the manual says you can even hook it up to a PC!

I think that only Sky remotes work with it, but you can get a picture from any scart (or RGB) source.

As for it interfering with Wifi - I was a little concerned about this - but I can safely say, the Medion sender from Toys R Us does not interfere with the 802.11g signal from my Belkin Wireless hub. (Obviously different senders / wireless hubs may show different results - but it works for me!)

Any remote will work with the sender as long as it's the remote for what ever box you using to send pictures.

Works with anything!
You can send DVD, Freeview, VCR, Sky and as said elsewhere even your PC!

As long as the equipment has a scart and sends a signal then you can use a sender.

Hi excuse me im a bit thick about this ! You said it works with dvd , sky etc. SO I just plug it in and can recieve sky and dvd upstairs ? The sky man put a cable in my bedroom for a tenner when he visited before but it does not work in my other bedroom, even altough i tried connecting an airel cable through. So would the digi sender be an answer then. Great if it did as i unfortunately am confinded upstairs a lot.
Thankyou

I had a quote for sky eye link to be put in. This is for the eye itself, the wire and going through the outside wall and up to the bedroom directly above. I think hes including a sky remote for it too and he quoted £90 but he said I might need a booster putting on to allow it to work in a 2nd bedroom too but the link to that one is already there. I thought £90 might be a bit much is it? seeing as Ive seen the eyes for a bit more than £6 on the net
