I would love to be able to play Xbox 360 more, but at the moment the TV is in the living room and is therefore shared with the family.
I am looking at getting an LCD TV to go in an upstairs room so we can watch Sky and possibly DVDs when the main TV's in use.
Thing is, a video sender is out of the question because my broadband is provided wirelessly and I have been told categorically that a video sender WILL interfere with the broadband and both sides will suffer (degraded speed and degraded picture).
So that leaves me with a problem; I don't use an aerial leads in the setup, so I can't run the picture around the house with a Sky link or whatever they're called (or can I?), oh and freeview through the aerial doesn't cover my area.
I was thinking about Sky Multiroom, but I resent paying the additional £10 for the subscription.
The question is: is it possible for me to run a lead from the existing LNB to a second hand Sky box and get a freeview card?
That is assuming that the LNB has another output and it will work that way.
