Hi... I need some advice on where to start for getting Sky and Internet TV into other rooms of the house. I would like to do my own research, but I just need a helping hand at where to get started. I have been trawling the threads, however they all seem too complicated and dont pinpoint what I require.
In the living room I currently have Sky HD on one system, and Internet TV (Swedens broadband Telia) on another.
More wireing is out of the question, so am I correct in saying a video sender would be the best route? I was hoping to watch both systems in the bedroom which is approx 20m and through a wooden wall. Another is in the kitchen which is similar distance, and another in my childrens rooms...
I just need to know what capabilities are out there, and realistically what my options were... A 5.8 ghz Video Sender (Emprex) was what I was thinking of, but is it possible to link all these up? And possible to change channels? For example if someone watched BBC1 in the living room, and I watched ITV in another room using the Video Sender...is this possible?


Thanks in advance...

Hi, not a lot of experience here but some thoughts...... You're pretty limited by the 'No extra wiring!' stipulation. Video senders that I've come across have only one input so one sender will connect to one of your boxes in the living room. Some have IR extender, so the remote should work. Also, S_y boxes are not particularly flexible; If someone is watching BBC1 in the living room you wouldn't be able to watch anything different in another rooom.
