Default Watching SKY TV in another room ?

Have SKY in main lounge but want to be able to watch it in other rooms (our bedroom, daughters bedroom etc)
Without getting SKY out to put it in the rooms properly, is there anything that people have used that allows SKY to be viewed in other rooms - pref wireless as we dont want wires running everywhere.

Cheers.

The best way Is to be wired as wireless Is poo!

Use the Rf2 output on the sky box feed that into a 4 way amplifier then run your points from that

How do you change the channel then?

We have Sky+ in our bedroom but it would be handy if our daughter could use it in her bedroom when we aren't using it.

You can only watch one channel at a time with the magic eye, though?
Unless you have more than one box.

Went for this option in our house as we wanted Sky upstairs but didn't want to pay for multiroom or have another dish etc. Only drawback is that whatever is on downstairs is on upstairs, but that's not a problem as all we wanted is to feed sky upstairs into ours, and the kids bedrooms. For a mere tenner (and an extra Sky+ remote) I don't think you can go wrong with this. Sky+ remote upstairs works as normal as the signal is transmitted through the 'eye' to the box downstairs.
