What's the easiest way to get Sky into another room? I have a Sky+ Box in the lounge, and I want to watch in the conservatory. I will run any cables necessary myself, but I'm wondering if I can run a cable from my Sky box to my TV aerial input so that I'm just using the conservatory TV as a remote screen sort of thing?

I could get multi room, but I know for a fact we will never be watching on both boxes at once.

Isn't multiroom just £5 a month extra? To be honest I'd pay that just for the video quality compared with running a horrible RF cable around the house

It's £11.25 a month extra, and the conservatory is literally 5 steps from my lounge via the kitchen. I could actually point the remote to my Sky box when I'm sitting in the conservatory!

there is a way to do it high quality, over cat 5/6 with a box at each end, but they are not cheap

What boxes mate? A HDMI cable is gonna cost around £50 as I'd have to go underfloor then upstairs and back down... Just the way the route is.

I already have an Ethernet cable running into there.
 
The pair of Neet units plus the cat6 cables would be more expensive than HDMI, so I'm thinking a long HDMI cable plus a splitter would be best option as the picture and sound quality would be perfect over HDMI.

I'll need to suss out a more efficient cable route.
