had the main aerial cable from the sky dish going into the loft, with a hub, then about 5 different aerial cables coming out of it goin to every room we wanted sky in, just drill through the ceiling and run the cable discretely down the wall


Have you got a clue what your going on about? :boggle:
Wireless AV senders send picture and sound from one location to another, they're not that good in my experience though.

A cable off the LNB will require another Sky box with multi-room sub or just freesat channels.
To allow sky control through a distribution amp (hub as you call it) you would need another cable from the back of the main sky box (RF2) to the loft then from the loft to the other TVs, not very practice when running cables is a problem.

I wont affect your internet, but it may interfere with your wireless connection.

Just configure the wireless video sender and your wireless access point to be on opposite channels (if the sender is configurable)

I've got one of the signal senders and it doesn't affect my internet at all. It works fine too.

It wont have any effect on the wireless internet but the internet may cause problems with the signal sender.

cant reall run cables as the sky comes in at ground level in front of house and kitchen is at back of house as is sky dish.
Nursery is above the kitchen so cant get cable in from there either.

will try one of the wireless jobbies and see how we get on.

Im using one of the argos wireless senders, works a treat! The sound buzzes slightly when i go near the receiving end with my iphone or laptop tho. If you can get one on the 5GHz spectrum, and dont use 802.11n or 802.11a i dont think you will get anywhere near as much interference :thumbs:

You don't need multiroom, you would just only get freeview channels.

cant just run a feed from the dish to the 2nd tv. You'd need a sly box at that tv. and for that you'd need a multi room sub

What are you talking about, the wireless senders are specifically for sending pictures.

cheapest one in argos

Aye the wireless senders are basically coax cables, just not attatched to each other. They'll do the job.

Either a bit of coax from the back of the box or they wireless sender things you get.

Had no experience of the wireless senders, you get them from argos though so can always take it back if its rubbish.

dont know if you can do it wireless. if its done through the oldskool airel cable, you can plug the mouse thing in that then allows you to change channel from the other room also. quite handy.
