I think the item you're talking about might come under 'card sharing', thus Voboden on these forums.

AFAIK, it will not work with a sky card

Nice try. Do you mean "verboten"? That's German for "forbidden" and it's pronounced "fair boat un".

it is not card sharing, it is wireless card splitting, it is plug and play, supposed to be compatable with mediagaurd 1&2, viacess 1&2, etc, in the one house only. forgive my ingorance but is mediagaurd not the enscription method of sky. my thinkig was to use it to transfer the signal to the kids room.

That's card sharing.
Won't work with Sky anyway, they use Videoguard.

• It's Theft of service.
• It is card sharing, although only in your own house.
• It's absolutely illegal in Ireland and many other countries.
• Sky doesn't use mediaguard anyway
