    Had a quick look, doesnt seem to be anything about this anywhere, if there is apologies.

    Just wondering can anyone recommend an audio/visual sender that will work with sky on a HD box (no HD sub though so only standard definition channels) and preferrably one that won't break the bank.

    Cheers.

    Any of the ones on sale will work,I picked up on in Aldi and it works fine.Doesn't matter if you have a HD box or just a bog standard box,the sender plugs into the scart socket at the back of the box and the receiver plugs into the tv you want to send the signal to.It's more tidy than running cables for magic eyes to extra tv's.

    I got one in Aldi myself but it won't work, as in when I hooked it up to the sky box and the tv there was no signal on the tv. The way I hooked it up was sky-transmitter-tv, i didn't have the ir receiver hooked in though, would that have any impact?

    I got one from Argus. It is a DigiSender. It cost approx €42 and works perfectly. It also includes a Remote Relay which allows you to use your remote control from the receiving location.

    You have to match the frequency on the sender and the receiver-if one is set at A the other also has to be set at A,otherwise you get no picture.
    Make sure you had the sender plugged into the scart socket on the skybox.The IR sticks beside where the IR sensor is on the front of the box so you can bring the remote to the other room and use it.
    All video senders are essentially the same and generally take 5 minutes to set up.
