Internet TV in different room from router

boxesgirl33

Hi I have 2 living rooms and one has the router and phone socket in it but the other only has an areal how do I connect my tv box or TV to the internet? Would I have to have cables everywhere or is there a clever way to do it?
I can't have fibre broadband in my area not sure if that helps.

Olso I'm currently with Sky for broadband and phone and just use a free view box. Who would best to go with for TV in an area without fibre.

Thanks for reading i'm sorry if I've done something wrong not posed on here for a long time.

For TV theres Sky, Plusnet, Talktalk, BT or theres Freeview & Freesat, latter 2 are free and all you pay is for an ariel/sat dish if you don't have 1.

Id go with Sky since you already with Sky for BB.

What is it your wanting to access on the TV ?
You mention internet, can you explain ehat you mean ?

I was going to suggest the TV that only has the ariel why not go with a Firestick.

I like recording programs and watching catch up TV and Netflix and my daughter likes to watch Netflix, YouTube.
Not sure if this is helpful I also pay £7.99 a month for Netflix and I think £7.99 for hayu TV (I watch it on my tablet or connect my tablet to the TV and watch from that)

So, are you happy with your existing Freeview service? What service(s) are you wanting to access by connecting your Set-top Box or TV to the Internet?

Most modern boxes/Smart TVs are capable of linking to the Internet via Wifi, and therefore don't need a cable link. If your existing box/TV doesn't support that, then there are a variety of addons that do. Hayu is available via NowTV for £3.99pm, so you might want to look into that?

So you want to record and catch up, Sky, BT and Talktalk can do both.
As I say Sky might be an option.

So can a recordable Freeview box which I'd guess is what she has one of already without a subscription cost.
