whats the easiest way to link up another tele to my Sky Box in the front room. The second tele would actually be about 2 metres from the box so is there a lead i can get or something?

I asked in Maplin yesterday and he tried to sell me a bit of kit for £50 but am sure there must be an easier way

I use infrared senders, about £20 a set in Tesco. Other equipment, e.g. baby monitor, can interfere with the signal but if you don't have that problem then it's a nice cheap and easy solution.

The flat below me have a kid but I doubt they need baby monitors seeing as the whole postcode area can hear the little kunt cry day, noon and night.

So I need infrared sensors...what they actually called?!

Infra-red senders? :wink:

Deffo check Tesco out though, I've seen them in the likes of Currys, Comet and chavvy Asda at about £50 a pop, less than half that in Tesco.

That looks like only one part of it. confised

You need a sender and a receiver, not sure if this item is the whole package that you'd need or just an extension to add another telly to a system you already have set up with the full kit.

The ones I'm on about allow you to change channel with a Sky remote on the receiver part of it too, so if you have / get a second Sky remote you don't have to clart about to change channel. This is more useful if you're sending the signal upstairs but probs less of an issue if you're only in the next room, but if(?) you're a lazy get like me you might wanna think about it.

Were these things called a "rabbit" back in the day or am I thinking of something else (not the ladies toy by the way).
