Have sky in three rooms at the moment and paying approx 100 a month really don't want to give them another ten quid a month and buy another box to get sky in a room where it will only occasionally be used.
Years ago I tried some one4all device that sends signals wirelessly. It wasn't great and needed to be positioned at very awkward angles to get any picture.
Are there any wireless solutions currently available that will do a decent job?
I know I can route a cable from another rooms such as cat6 etc but wouldn't to explore a wireless option. Anyone using something that works well? The room I am planning on sending signal from is approx 4-5m from the location albeit through walls and a ceiling.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

It depends what you want in each room but my simple setup is a magic eye in our main bedroom giving us all channels and planner program's. Then you can use sky go for 2 more rooms, I have put it on my sons Xbox and it gives him more than enough channels.

Thanks for the reply. Magic eye is fine. This is what I was referring to by the cat6 cable solution. However for this I would need wiring...

Still thinking!
