Sky HD in 2 rooms with limited existing wiring

    I'm asking for advice about this for someone else:

    Basically he's considering get Sky HD installed in his house, he'd like to be able to watch Sky HD in two rooms at opposite sides of the house. He doesn't want to have to run anymore cables due to not wanting to damage existing finished walls & floors.

    The first room is prewired with 3 cables from the attic to a faceplate, the second room is prewired with 1 cable to a faceplate.

    Is there any way to have the Sky HD box in one location, preferably in the room with one cable & still be able to send the HD signal to the other room ?

    All advice & suggestions appreciated.

    You can use the HD box in two room's with that cable setup. But the 2nd room with one cable you can't watch and record ( pause live TV is fine). It's useless to look at broadcasting because it's the same feed in both rooms (also wireless HD is not exactly cheap)
