durtydurty Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have a Sky plus box in my living room with xbox attached. When I play xbox my girlfriend wants to watch stuff we have recorded on the HD in another room. The bedroom has a non plus Sky box in it with a telly. The room is behind the living room so drilling a hole in the wall and running a cable is my first thought, but my query is which sockets do I swap etc on the back of the Sky plus box and do I go into the non plus Sky box or straight into the telly. I think it maybe something that I will easily fumble through but any advice prior to doing it would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Take a co-ax feed from the RF2 port on the Sky HD unit straight to the TV co-ax in the other room. It should work, but being on Virgin cable, I'm not 100% up on the hard drive recorded prog method inside the Sky HD box. Adding in a red eye remote should also allow remote tp work in other room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 What Chris says. I do this - take a feed from the RF2 only mine goes to an amp / splitter in the roof to feed the other rooms in the house. This means you can watch recorded stuff in any of these rooms from the Sky+ box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Yep, thats how ours is set up, RF2 outlet on sky+ box directly into TV in bedroom with red eye remote extender. I can even watch High Def progs in the bedroom, albeit not in high def, the picture still looks better though even though it's watched by RF on a CRT TV!!
