Getting sky upstairs in HD

[xyz123]

Hi

Is it possible to get sky HD in another room in a way that doesn't need multiroom? I have a HD box and have a coax cable running from thus box to upstairs but quality of picture is disappointing so I am looking to see if we can have HD upstairs.

Thanks

A HDMI splitter and extender could fit the bill - I've used it to take a feed to another TV before - a run of Cat6 network cable will replace the coax.

Splitter:

Extender:

From the Sky HD, one HDMI goes to the splitter.

From the splitter, one HDMI cable to the TV in the same room, the second goes into the sender unit of the HDMI extender. Cat 6 then takes the signal to the receiver in the other room, where the receiver outputs to another HDMI cable to the TV there.

You might not need the splitter if you have an AV receiver with two HDMI outputs..

If the upstairs TV has an HD tuner in it

uses existing coax, sky will be presented as HD channel in the upstairs TV epg. Local hdmi output for downstairs tv.
It may be wise to fit an attenuator in line as the output of the modulator is very high.

This, an HD modulator will work. Ideally you want one that has 9v 'power pass through' on the RF, that way your Sky magic eye will still work for remote control. I think the one linked above does but double check.
