Quick question:- Is is possible to watch sky from the digibox in my lounge on my pc in the room next door? If so, what do i need to purchase?

i dont think so. certainly not that i know of.

sky mulitroom is available though which requires another sky box and is an extra £10 per month

You can do it by taking the 2nd RF output from the digibox and putting it into a TV card on your pc. It means you can only watch the channel what the digibox is on.

Dunno if that is what you wanted?

Thats the kind of thing im after yes. Ive got a pci tv card installed in the pc at the moment, is there any way to send it from the digibox to the pc wirelessly?

wireless AV sender? have a look around ive got a cheapo one
used it to send ntl to the bedroom tv also used it to send dvd's played via PC to the bedroom tv (all tho with the pc it was abit messed up and the sound wasn't right must have been the electrical interference)

worked great with ntl tho!
you will need either scart or a phono video connection on the pc

edit: theres a thing called Sky TV link google it my gran uses on of these to send sky into her bedroom theres a (magic eye) so you can use the remote control to change channels in the bedroom not wireless tho

I've got this for my spare room and it works an absolute treat! I agree that im not sure it would work 'wirelessly'.
