Sky+ with Multiroom Query

Loobeylou

I just know that one or more of you really helpful people out there will be able to help with this query!

Scenario:

Two TVs - obviously in separate rooms.

We understand that if we wish to watch different channels at the same time on the two TVs, we need Multiroom.

We understand also that we need to have a box in each room for Multiroom.

Problem:

Where to site the box for the TV in the newly refurbed kitchen!

TV is sited in a corner, on top of the work surface, underneath a wall cupboard, and there is no room to site the TV on top of the box. Anywhere else would look cluttered as it is not a large kitchen.

So, where to put the box? If we place it in a cupboard we still have the problem of the signal and maybe having to open the cupboard door every time we wish to change channels. Not ideal.

Is there such a thing as a small gadget to receive the signal which could sit near the TV and which would enable us to site the box elsewhere?

You can get a "Magic Eye" that will let you control your box from anywhere.

There are loads of different types available from almost any electrical store... That one was just a uick search to give you an idea

Magic Eye is prolly the best solution.

Remember that when subscribing to Multiroom you must have all your boxes connected to an active telephone line for callback otherwise a charge of roughly £35 will be added to you account for violating boxes.

Also, if violating its not likely that you will get the full overcharging back.
