Trying to find a solution for a rented house. The SkyHD box is in the lounge, but would also like to output it to the bedroom. There's no option to add new cabling, so would it be possible to use a decent PowerLine AV2-spec kit to extend it?

I've got a pair of CYP PU-514L-TX / RX baluns that use a single Cat5 cable knocking around. Could I use an HDMI splitter on the back of the Sky box to the CYP TX balun, then Cat5 into/out of the Powerline adaptors to the RX balun, then into the TV?

Just wondering if that's the intended method of using the AV2 spec?

Switch to Sky Q, they probably do it for free, and then get a Q mini box for the bedroom.

There's an extra £10 a month charge for multiroom though.

I expect they'll do a deal.

No. That won’t work for a number of reasons. Sky w and a mini box is the correct answer
