    you need to have a sky hd box in bedroom and a cable from the sky dish or better still 2 cables. thats the easy way.

    This is the technical way, get a hdmi splitter, like this

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Splitter-SOWTECH-Powered-Distributor-Compatibility/dp/B01IMWDSCE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1474122722&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=hdmi+splitter+1+in+2+out&psc=1

    You then need a long hdmi cable to run from living room to bedroom, like this, if you are lucky you could use wall cavity or ducting on wall. the longer the cable the more it costs.

    look here

    but the caveat is 2 outputs may not work with a sky sub ie it may detect the 2 and not work and I don't know of anyone who has split hdmi with sky.

    there you go

    If you need to run a hdmi cable to a second room this can be difficult\ as the cable is bulky particularily at each end and it will not work correctly if the hdmi cable is longer than 30 meters in Lenght.

    If it is indeed require longer than 30metres you can run a category6 cable with a balun to convert the cable to hdmi at the end. You will also need a hdmi splitter to split the signal to begin with. Cost is expensive but worth it if you want the full hd signal in the bedroom without the extra cost of a second box subscription ...that been said however it will be worth looking into getting a sky q box with a mini box for the bedroom sky are running deals for people for Sky q at the moment so worth pricing and see which option is cheaper and better for you.
