Miss_S_83 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi! Does anyone know how I can watch Sky TV in another room without multiroom? I have a TV upstairs but can't get a TV Signal as no ariel thing up there, so can only watch DVDs. I know I wouldn't be able to watch 2 diff channels in 2 diff rooms without multiroom but I don't want that- I just want to be able to watch it in bed when I am feeling tired. how can I do it? Sure I have heard of something but can't remember what. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convert Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 You can either run a co-ax cable from the 2nd RF port on the Sky box to your bedroom, or try one of the wireless sender / receiver units which usually need to plug into a scart socket on your Sky box. Sample products http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.100-5494.aspx http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9239827/Trail/searchtext%3EAV+SENDER.htm The 2nd one is better as it works on the 5.8Ghz frequency.

Miss_S_83 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks guys! Convert- sorry if this sounds dumb and I have looked at the products so think I already know- but I presume these are easy to use and no cables and ariels required? Sorry... I think not but I like to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not but I like to check Just plug them in and see if they work. However as with any wi-fi system they can be affected by distance, weather, other wi-fi devices. The advantage they give is that you can also use remote control over them, if you place the IR unit in sight of your Sky box. Personally I'd go for the 5.8Ghz (Argos) system, and if it doesn't work take it back under the 14 day money back policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATIEB_23 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 We use a wireless sender receiver. It was £35 from Maplins & has done the trick for years You just have a little box plugged into your sky box, and the receiver plugged into the other TV in another room. You can even use the sky remote in the other room by pointing it at the receiver. Sometimes the reception goes fuzzy when I use the microwave but it's generally good EDIT: This is the one we use. It's only £24.99 now! http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=44469 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUZZIOWL Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Eighup Miss S ...I bought one of those sender units several years ago and didn't think it was much Kop ...(didn't always give a good signal) When we had our Conservatory built 18 months ago , we put a 32 LCD in it , and i phoned the TV ariel guys if they had any ideas ..They ran another cable from the Sat Dish into the Conserve and installed a 'magic eye' (it gives a better signal than a sender unit ) so we can watch either Sky or Freeview in t' Conserve Or in t'Lounge.. (Eg ...wife in t'Lounge watchin' Emmerdale on freeview = ) ( me in t'Conserve watchin' Sky Sports (with a can) = ) ...hope this helps ...GUZZI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss_S_83 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi peeps again Right- what the hell is a magic eye? what's the difference between that and one these sender-mi-bobs? And Blades- how much does the guy charge and what does he do? Thank youuuuuuuuuuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUZZIOWL Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Eighup again ...'magic eye ' is one item ( about the size of a matchbox )... and gives a stronger signal than a sender unit ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
