Slingbox work with Sky in another room in house?

    Hi, I just got Sky in and I would like the option of Multiroom without the extra fees. I have been looking at a HDMI wireless option - however I can only watch one channel at a time. Would like the option of music in one room and TV in another, so wondered if Slingbox would work?

    Or I do have an old Sky box but don;t know if this would work - need another sky viewing card?

    Connect slingbox to Sky but to get it working on another TV in kitchen - is that an option?
    I have UPC broadband and thinking of upgrading to Sky Fibre when current contract is up.

    Any help appreciated

    You can use a sling box to watch SKY in another room. You will need a slingbox and a device on the other end that can connect to the slingbox (One of the WD TV LIVE boxes will do this).

    Quality is very good as you are sending over your own network.

    Note: With slingbox you can still only watch one channel at a time. It just sends the picture and sound to another room.
