Wi-Fi and SKY

A question about : Wi-Fi and SKY

I have been with Sky for some time and pay Ј83 pm, but also pay Ј40 to Virgin for broadband and phone line. We have 3 boxes in the house, but could possibly reduce this and save money.

First thing would be to get the broadband and line rental within the Sky package, but the main question is, rather than having a conventional box - that can record etc, another box is available to view in another room. However, is it possible just to link another TV by wi-fi in the other room if only wanting to watch what is on the main TV that has the box?

If this was possible, it would save having to have another box.

Best answers:

• On some TVs yes, on others no.
  A friend found that the telly in the living room can receive BB but not the one in his bedroom. He now has the box connected in the bedroom and one of those IR extension thingies to operate it by remote control from the living room. He would have swapped tellies round but a 98" telly overpowers the bedroom somewhat!
• Thanks. I would think that a 98" telly would overpower most rooms.

• Sky TV link, around Ј10.
  If you have a new Sky +HD box you'll need an I-O adabpter as well Ј10.

  Otherwise mulitiscreen box.
• Sky GO.
  Watch on a tablet or PC. It is possible to connect the mobile device to a TV via HDMI or some kind of mirroring across the network.
• I have a laptop that does a mirroring output on the HDMI port.
  I think it's for doing presentation on a projector.
• VGA is wonderful stuff.
  My projector has a VGA port, and it comes with a SCART to VGA adapter. This means that I can play content from old equipment with SCART RGB output.
  Shame it doesn't work with computer monitors. If it did, I could have hooked up an old Amstrad Sky Digibox (Pre-HD) to an old VGA monitor.
