wireless sky link? can you get one ?

[ben_p]

Got sky multiroom installed but my room was too far away for them to install it

So the second box is now in the front lounge..can I link that up to my Projector upstairs? I cant run a lead so it needs to be wireless?

 

[Gally]

Can't you get one of those av recievers, whatever is on the main tele will show up on the recieving tele, google it mate.

 

[ben_p]

can I change the channel though?

 

[Inactive]

No, you will need to control it from downstairs I think...

 

[ben_p]

but but

 

[McBunny]

why cant you just run a cable from the dish to the room you want it in ?

 

[ben_p]

the guy wouldnt do it the dish is on the Opp end of the house and he said they wont do a cable that long!

He also said somthing about needed a other box and £10 per month multiroom?

 

[McBunny]

if you have more than 1 box you need to pay for multiroom

run teh cable your self or get a decent Ariel fitter in to do it

 

[ben_p]

I already got two boxes, would it be an extra £10 PCM for the 3rd box?

 

[McBunny]

yes

just confirmed its £10 per box

 

[Louism]

You can change chan but it will just change both tvs with the ac reciever thing, most come with an IR reciever built in.

Yeh, it's £10 each room.

As McBunny said run it your self dude

 

[ben_p]

Theres a sky man round the cornor... think if I offered him a few quid he could get me a box and put the cable up?

This.

You can get a reciever but it might use cables. It will change the sky channel from upstairs in your bed.

My brother bought one from argos.

Or get the AV receiver - there around £80ish

 

[McBunny]

yes its s**t everything interferes with it. if your connecting it to a projector you need a decent signal or pic will be poop

 

[ben_p]

[rickyk]

Google RIMAX 5.8Ghz audio visual wireless receiver/sender

 

[k1ano]

Also an option to consider is XBOX Sky-Player, works on wireless through an XBOX live account ...

What length wouldn't he run the cable?! We run mass lengths for LNB feeds, never any problems!
