Default Sky TV - Help required by eejit!!!

Believe it or not, im getting Sky installed for the 1st time ever tomorrow

So, I know nothing and need some help with connecting Sky to not only my downstairs tv(which the installers will do), but also my bedroom set too.

How can I connect it up (I appreciated both TVs will be watching the same sky channel) and how can I change channel from upstairs?!

Any links to products and any info would be greatly appreciated



Thankyou

Get a digi sender unit , will send the signal to another tv with out wires and the remote control will work from the other room as well. Had mine from argos , can also watch dvd's from the dvd player downstairs as well .

Fantastic information people Im looking at a wireless system if possible and I see Maplins have one for sale too

Sky multiroom was £50 install plus an additional £10 per month, which I thought was OTT considering I just want a couple of extra channels and a nice cheap package.

I've got sky multiroom in three rooms, get rid of the movies that will save you about £8.50 a month.

A point to note is that most video senders will only send a composite signal, not digital. You won't notice the difference though if you get a decent one.
