what you need is the Sky Knome..

Sky has launched a new wireless device that will connect to your Sky box allowing you to listen but not watch your favourite Sky TV and radio channels in any room of the house? How does it work, and is it any good are the first questions that spring to mind so we grab our magnifying glass and find out.

Compatible with all Sky boxes and with no additional subscription charge, Sky Gnome will offer a wireless connectivity up to a range of 30 metres from your Sky box.


you can listen but not watch

Got a Phillips wireless sender unit. Works fine on both Sky and DVD player .Beauty is as well,you have the main base unit and can add other receivers in different areas i.e. bedroom and kitchen.Works with the all the remotes as well.

Got it from Makro but sure you can get from Argos
