Sky Eye Alternatives

dubmick

Sky Eye won't work in my house for some reason. Can anyone recommend a TV sender for watching Sky in another room?

I want to be able to control the Sky box from another room. It is already fed into the television, ie. I can watch whatever is on Sky in the bedroom but only the channel that is on in the sitting room.

Thanks

Mick

I got a Marmitek Powermid years ago and it is brilliant. It is a universal remote that you can program and a base unit pointing at the sky box/other devices. The remote works from anywhere in the house.

Search for Control Anywhere. I bought it in Peats but don't know if they still have them as it was a logn time ago when I got mine.

Should do the job!

Just one thing to watch out for with it. In my last house the receiver was positioned just on the other side of a wall from the washing machine...whenever the washing machine went onto a spin cycle the thing would only work intermittently as the vibrations interfered with it.

No other problems though so just keep it away from washing machines

Ludo, just to say thanks for recommending the powermid, I got it at the end of last week and it works perfectly.
