Sky

15 Posts
Hi
I’m looking advice on how to connect another Sky box to another TV in another room. I don’t want to pay for multi room or Sky Q. I also don’t want cable running over the place.
I had thought about SkyGo, but it won’t let me connect to the tv via HDMI. Any ideas?
Thanks

If it must be Sky and you want to watch different channels, and not pay, and not have any wiring, I think you're out of luck.
If you went to Sky Q, you'd need the more expensive box, and get a secondary box, but again, there's a subscription to pay.
You don't think Sky give you things for free, do you?!
If you can specify what channels you need in the other room, and if you can go without Sky channels, you can save some money, but Now TV as above might be a good shout.
Again, they deliberately block you from doing this.
Earlier sky boxes had a rf2 output on the back , just needs a magic eye , later boxes had I/O outputs , needs an adapter and a magic eye . All available cheaply off eBay
It has to be the SkyGo extra not the standard SkyGo.
Dependent on how long you have been with Sky it might be possible to get SkyGo extra as part of their Sky VIP perks.
If you don't have a console you should be able to pick one up pretty cheaply (Xbox 360's / Playstation 3).
Bonus is if there's nothing you fancy watching on telly you can have a quick blast of a game!
