Tv in kitchen

Kim_kim

Hi - I was with sky, I’m in my months notice period.  

I had a Q box in the living room & a second one in the kitchen.  

I like to put A programme on (pre recorded) & move between the two rooms watching a bit in each.  

I’m buying a 4k freesat 2TB box for the living room. 

What do I buy for the kitchen, I don’t have satellite cables or an Ariel in there.  

What else can I do?

If it's something that you could get "on demand" rather than recording then Amazon firesticks and continue watching

On a smart TV Plex may be a possibility

Hi, 
Not sure if this would work for your set up, but I had a similar situation years ago, when I wanted a small tv in the kitchen so I could keep up with the main tv in the living room whilst cooking, and not miss everything.  

It was either a virgin or sky box that was being used at the time as the main source. Luckily both rooms shared a party wall, so we took the low tech & cheap approach and drilled through the wall carefully, and fed a cable through linking the two tvs together. It worked perfectly, with the limitation being the smaller tv wasn’t able to change channel, only the volume worked. 

I’m afraid I can’t remember exactly how it was done, but it was possibly using an hdmi splitter or similar.

I can’t post the link here, but on radio4all.org, they have a guide titled ‘4 easy steps to stream to multiple tvs using a single source’ that might help.

That’s exactly what I used to have, before I got the Q box.  

So on the old sky plus box I had a co ax out the back, along the wall, through the party wall & into the kitchen tv.  

I am making the assumption that a freesat 4k box is like a sky Q box and doesn’t have a co ax feed at the back - but maybe it does?
