    I think you can get a sort of box with littl areals that conect to the Kitchen TV and such,then it picks up the what ever you have on the main TV so I don't have to keep running in and outr tof the kitchen when a prog' I like to watch is on.
    Now tell please are they OK do they give a good receptio? I am not going to dash out emediatelyand buy one but if it is worth what ever the cost it could also be used in my tenement as my grand daiughter is going to be stay down there fo a couple of weeks that way also when I am not watching she can watch wht ever she wants , I can leave the sky digi box on and the main TV off.
    Hope you know what I'm talking about I think I do But..................

    They are called video senders Chocky, they work well, providing that the distance between sender and receiver isn't too great and there are not too many walls in the way. They plug into one of the scart sockets on the Digibox and then a scart socket on the remote TV.

    Here's a good one http://www.sateuropa.co.uk/product_o...id=2&subcat=12, you can find cheaper ones, but this one is good quality.

    Right thanks for that info Rolf.
    The tenement would be out ,it's compley seperate to this part of the flat and posiibly 5-6 walls and I don't think I'm going to fork that much for the kitchen which is adjacent to the lounge and I don'r warch TV in bed so I'll just put up with a 3 second delay a booster and a not so good a reception Lol.
    I can live with that.

    Well a single aerial cable from the Sky box and a TVLink would do the job and for very little money. If I was a little closer, I'd do it for you.

    I'm sure you would. Thanks. I may get Matt. (My eldest ) to drill a hole through the kitchen wall to run an arial to the box in the lounge but then agains he's started to paint the kichen cupboard doors and I now have an assortment of colourd doors , he may finish them one day so I think I'll scrub tound itfor now. Thanks any how. I have only just put the TV in the kitchen It's been in the box for nearly a year, the bay ceiling fell down (on top of me) and it took nearly 3 months to get the insurance sorted for that the 3 more weeks to get a new capet from content insurance and I am just sorting things out again. I was a bit cheesed off for a while and left every thing packed away but at leest I didn't get hurt badly.
