SKY in another room

    I have a SKY HD box but I am not subscribed to HD service. I want to get SKY in another room. We will only ever be watching one TV so I don't want to get a multi-room subscription (I can't anyway as I have a UPC phone). What is the best way of me getting SKY in another room?

    One option could be to connect a laptop or PC to the TV in the other room using a HDMI cable (if the tv and pc both have HDMI ports).

    Provided you are connected to the internet then you should be able to watch Sky TV online. I have used this setup, and as long as you have a decent broadband connection it should work really well.

    Not all the channels are available online but you get a decent amount all the same!

    Best of luck with it!

    run a cable from the rf2 output on the back of the hd box to the other tv.
    a magic eye will let you control the box from the other room.

    (the signal isn't hd, and the sound is mono.)

    On a serious note, I randomly linked to an example of an AV sender, I have no experience of this specific product.
