Carman06 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes, Sky used to sell a remote extender cable where you could run a cable say upstairs then take the remote up to bed at night and control the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just run a coaxial cable from the back of your box to the other room and download the sky app to control your sky box from your phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickS Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 You can but you have to be showing the same programme on both TVs. If that's ok, no problem, but if not, you can buy a 'room box' from Sky and for £10 a month you have the same package on both it and your main box (except, annoyingly, BT Sport) and you can each watch your own thing. Alternatively, gut a Freesat box and cable it to your sky dish - true, it won't give you your Sky channels but you will get all the free-to-air ones.

FatherandSon Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I think its called the Magic Eye, Maplins sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deker Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 There are a few different options depending on the quality that you want but they all have the limitation of needing to watch the same channel in both rooms (except for the sky multiroom option) Magic eye is co-ax or you can get s-video or hmdi (depending how much money you want to throw at it) extenders over CAT5 network cable - have a look at http://www.keene.co.uk/, they're really helpful if you need to call them.

keg Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Also remember that if you run a coax cable to another tv in the house, you will need to use the analogue tuner to tune it in rather than the digital tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Correct on that last one - and the signal is of SD quality (at best) - you may also need other equipment based on what the existing cable is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Yes but it depends on which sky box you have diffrent boxes use diffrent conectors Edited February 20, 2015 by Bigbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
