HDMI Input to IP

swillsy · 15 Jul 2020 at 11:39

Hi Guys, I'm going to be travelling a bit soon and want to know if there is any product which would take a hdmi input from my sky box and stream over ip to ideally my phone/web page so I can watch the video in another country? I have a harmony remote setup so can control it remotely anyway. I was looking into a slingbox but I'm not certain they are supported anymore and google is letting me down!

Doesn't Sky Go allow this, or is it region-locked?

If it is region-locked a VPN may fix it.

Could use a HDMI capture card but you'd need to break HDCP most likely. Apparently some HDMI switches and splitters break HDCP.

If you want to watch live broadcasts then surely Sky Go + VPN if there are any region issues is the way to go?

I think the issue with SkyGo VPN is that the devices won't let you cast sometimes etc when you are outside the UK as it wants to see your location. I'll give it a go though!
