[Technology] Watching Sky in another room without Multi-room

[Notters]

Do you have a tablet or laptop ? Sky Go is my modus operandi. Works a peach, specially for taking out into the garden in the summer.

It's a DREADFUL layout though, unless they've changed it recently. Unlike the BT one which was excellent on Monday.

Its a bit clunky, but I suppose I'm used to it. For some reason Sky Go doesn't work on my Firefox browser, or Microsoft Edge, so I have to ponce about going back to Explorer. But I'm up and running in 30 secs, so no biggee.

Nope... "I have a coax wired connection... "

But it does give you HD rather than just sending the low quality RF2 output from the Sky box around the house (as mentioned by [MENTION=179]tinx[/MENTION]).

Ah right OK - missed that bit.

Something like this? https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Qose-5-8...qid=1515752719&sr=8-3&keywords=tv+transmitter

This looks along the right lines but doesnt work with HDMI by the looks of things and so wouldnt work with the Sky+HD box.

Why wouldn't you be able to Chromecast it? Seems like a simple solution.

Sky disable the ability for this

That one doesn't, but there are HDMI versions available (though they are more expensive)

Another option is to move the Sky box into the kitchen when you want to watch it there.

Angle the mirror by the door?

Sky disable the ability for this

Even if you cast desktop rather than the tab?

Any kind of mirroring / casting is disabled on the Sky Go app

Edit. Just seen you don't want cabling.

Any know the best way to do this?

Not bothered about being able to watch different channels so paying for multiroom seems a bit of a waste. I currently have an Sky+HD box and i want to be able to watch it in kitchen as have just put up a new TV.

Research seems to suggest a 'Sky Eye' but that needs cabling - I want do it wirelessly if possible.

Over to NSC.....

I have it wired and its a crappy picture it really is. I was told on the sky forum that the voltage is low it stops DIGI-SENDER'S from sending the picture elsewhere. I really thing sky go is best, to say laptop or other device (with hdmi) then you can watch HDMI on your tv.

One good thing with the cable idea is. You can buy a second remote to control it. I watch it in my bedroom. This allows me to change channel without getting up.
