Best way to get Sky in another room?

[R1gtr]

Evening folks, wondering if anybody can help me.
I have Sky HD box in living room and I need to buy a tv for the bedroom as my old cheap one died, how would I go about (if actually possible) being able to watch Sky on the bedroom and control the Sky box in the living room?

I have the full Sky package and it would be nice to watch Sky Movies in bed rather than the living room.
Thanks in advance.

One of these will do the trick, although you will need to run a length of coax from the decoder to your bedroom.

Why not order Sky multi room, or get sky go on a laptop and plug vga/dvi cable from laptop into TV

Easy peasy.

Run a length of coaxial cable from RF-out-2 socket at the back of your skybox and connect to your additional set via a small inline amplifier - which should cost less than a £10 and will include a receiver eye.

You will also need an additional remote control to use with your 2nd tv.
You then just tune your 2nd tv into the digital channel, and hey presto, you can control all tvs from the bedroom.

Would I be able to install Sky Go on a smart tv if I got that for the bedroom?

I considered multi room but trying to keep bills down at the moment.

Would love to be able to watch all the channels and possibly stuff from my planner whilst relaxing in bed with a hangover!

Quick clarification OP but did you ask for the 'best' way to connect a second TV or the simplest or least expensive? If your second TV is HD and has an HDMI input then the best connection is via HDMI. Easiest way to do this is to split the Sky HDMI output (1x2) and use a balun pair to extend HDMI over distance, the baluns will include an IR return facility much like the Sky 'eye' to facilitate control. The cable connection between rooms is CAT5e or CAT6, both cheap and easily sourced.

For baluns Google 'Wyrestorm', go to their site and look up an HDBaseT extender pair as these are the best. You'll be out of pocket to the tune of several £££ but you can enjoy HDTV in both rooms with full control. Not knocking the suggestions above as they work and are inexpensive but all you get is RF video quality which is pretty poor on all but the smallest TVs.

All about quality vs cost as per usual.

Thanks for that info, my tv in the bedroom died a death so decided that I will get a new one and get it hooked up properly from day one.
