Alternatives to Sky Multiroom...

Drill a hole in the ceiling.

Just cancel your multiroom, you'll still have the freeview channels etc.

i don't have multiroom....
i don't want to pay the £10 a month...but i want to be able the sky in the bedroom as well as the living room....
if i split the existing comnnection i have at the moment and extent a second cable to the bedroom... will i need a second sky box...??? if not ..how would i change the channels in the bedroom...??

you have to change them downstairs

A wireless video sender could be the solution. You can't watch a different channel upstairs to what is viewable downstairs, but if you're essentially looking for the means to watch telly in bed etc., then it'll fit the bill well. :)

No need for another sky box, just run a cable out of the main box to upstairs and plug that into a magic eye which you can get for a few quid and then into the TV

need to watch the same channels tho don

I take it you can't get freeview in your area, and websites such as catchuptv.com out of the question?

Move bed to living room

Get Sky Player downloaded onto a Windows 7 laptop.
Connect laptop to tv.
Gets a lot of channels but not all.
