Sky HD through the PJ in my Garage

I am about to convert my garage to a HT. I have picked up lots of good tips from the forums however I have one question.

Any tips on how do I get get Sky HD without losing quality from my living room to my attached garage to watch in the new HT?

I am no expert mate but how about a TV signal booster device + make sure you use top Quality cable

My dad runs sky Tv signal throught his hotel and he used a signal booster, best of luck !

Re: Sky HD through the PJ in my Garage

You need to get a long HDMI lead for the pictures and sound, then use a normal aerial (CT100) cable to connect the sky IR eye in the garage. This will mean that you can control the sky box from your garage though RF2 on the back of the box and get HD through the HDMI. If you need more than 20m of cable you may need to move into fibre cables which are expensive, it may be cheaper to get extra box.

Dupe...
