Hi,

SWMBO would like to have Sky in our nursery so she could watch her Love Island while nursing our two new arrivals. There are no cables running to that room, so we would need an HDMI wireless sender to send our Sky HD box TV signals. I would consider an SD version but those video senders have been horrible from past experience.

So... What would be a decent HDMI sender for this? It must also work with Sky remotes as I know some don't. Needs a decent range too as it's sending to the other side of the house... Also need to be able to connect the downstairs TV as usual (so should have pass-through/splitter function)

Never had any success with them senders either, to much interference can't really seeing them HDMI ones being much different.
Perhaps Sky Q might be a better option, which uses WiFi for the second box and you have the remote control capability?

Don't really want to entertain Q - way too expensive and this is meant to be temporary.

"Love Island" Buy her a Kindle or something or give her some satellite magazines to keep her entertained.

I bought a 5.8Ghz sender in the end. No HD but it's good enough for a 19 inch TV.
