I'm looking for the easiest solution for this....

The bedroom TV is located directly behind the living room TV (behind a handy wall) would it be easiest to just drill through or use one of those TV sender kits? What else do I need in order to share the sky+ box with 2 TVs? It's just a double skin plasterboard wall.

Thanks for your help!

If you want to be able to watch the same channel simultaneously in two rooms, then you just need a TVLink magic eye and a bit of co-ax. The magic eye runs from the RF2 output on the Sky box (which you have to ensure is switched on, instructions come with the eye) so you just connect the co-ax to the output, stick it through the wall, into the magic eye connector and into the TV. The eye lets you control the Sky box from the other room.

If you want to watch a DIFFERENT channel in the bedroom, you will need another Sky box and a multi-room subscription.

B&Q, argos, ASDA and such places have them on the shelf to save you the bother of having to order one.

BTW you can also send HD to the other room too, I did this using a HDMI splitter, and the sky magic eye just relays the remote signal back, I don't use the RF picture.

And a long HDMI cable, I used a 15M cable and there is no signal loss.
