Sky HD - connecting up in multiple rooms

[JuniorD]

I'm a bit of dummy when it comes to Sky TV and HD so need some advice.
At present we have Sky+ HD in our main room. We want to get Sky in three other rooms using those
magic eye things which enable you to piggyback off the main Sky+ box.

Trouble is, we would like at least one of those piggyback connections to enable us to watch the HD in one of the additional rooms. Is this possible and what is required? Does it take specialist, expensive cabling?

Thanks in advance.

I think you will need an HDMI splitter/distribution hub and then run HDMI cables to each tv you want HD on as well as the co-ax to the magic eye. Not sure if there is a length limit on HDMI cables before you start getting drop outs?
I'm no expert and I've not done it yet, but that would seem to do the job for you.

You can do it with a splitter and a HDMI cable.

Along with the HDMI you run a coax and fire the injected IR over that into RF2

Thanks chaps, much appreciated! Seems straight forward enough in principle. That will be my project for the next week, all other important household jobs now bumped down the list. Thanks once again.

You should be okay on HDMI up to 20m. It is worth testing it first before you run the cable through the wall or under the floor.
