Sky + and a wiring query

[durtydurty]

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.

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

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.

Yep, that will work, you will just need to enable RF2 out on the Sky Set Up menu+++

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!!
