Wireless A/V sender advice/recommendations

[Trash Man]

I'm having sky installed on Tuesday and would like to be able to watch it upstairs as well. I know you can get the sky multiroom thingy but that's an extra £10 a month on the subscription.

I've seen these on the argos site, do I really need to spend £100 on this sort of thing or do the cheaper options the job just as well? Also, how well do these things work? Is there loss in quality of the picture or sound, do they suffer from interference and picture break up much, if I wanted to add a 2nd or 3rd receiver later on, would that affect anything?

Anyone have an experience using these and have any advise or recommendations on models please?

Thanks.

I've found those transmitters loose a lot of the picture and quality.

Not to mention that one costs 10 months of multiroom, which would allow you to watch a DIFFERENT sky channel in that room.

Also remeber you can just run co-ax from the sky box to that room. The quality will probably be better than the wireless broadcaster. But is still nothing like as good as RGB scart.

Trouble with getting the multiroom is that it's an extra £100 for another sky+ box and then you can't watch anything upstairs that's been recorded downstairs.

or you could just run co-ax to your bed room, and you'd be able to view anything on the box. You'd need a so called remote extender to be able to control it thou.

Same again on the quality front thou.

Second the vote for just running coax. That and a remote extender (think Sky sell one, remote eye or something) would do the job better than video senders IMO.

Would have to say Multiroom is the better option, can you not just get a standard box for the multiroom rather than a Sky+ box ?

I use a Medion video sender (cost £15 iirc) for sending signal from my VM stb upstairs.
Been working for a couple of years & well worth the £15.
You might get some interference though if there's a lot of wifi in your area.
