Default getting sky in another room

there was a thread on here the other day about some thingy that you can watch sky in another room without buying another box, now ive just baught one but i have to run a wire from the other end of the house to rig it up in the bedroom (i never read the box before buying ) so is there one that doesnt need no wire ran through the house that uses a transmitter like thing, if so have you got a link to such a thing?
cheers

I've just had the wire put in and got the "mouse" to be able to change the channel from the second room.

Don't think you can use the "senders" as you need a licence to transmit anything..........I await to be corrected though

I was asking a mate about this the other day who is a spark and seriously into his gadgets.

He said to me that there are things that you can buy from various places but Tesco's was mentioned(for round about Ł30 am sure he said ) and all you do is sit it next to the tv in another room(seperate to where your sky box is) and that it will pick up the signal from your sky box from wherever it is ion the house and that you can also change the channel via it. And it is legal,don't hold me to this cause i aint checked it yet though!

i dont think it'd be possible. Doing it the way i have done with the co ax and the magic eye doesnt give a perfect pictur and sound. Its only mono for starters. picture isnt bad like but dont think you could send a perfect hd signal

easier to have a seperate box probably!
