TV Link - operate Sky from another room
Sky plus is great, allowing you to watch recorded programs, whilst recording 2
others and you can whizz throught the adverts at 30x speed.
A disadvantage I found was that if I wanted to watch a recorded program
upstairs, I couldn't skip the ads or pause the playback. Introduce a
TV Link and your problems are solved.
Once fitted the TV link will send the signal from your remote control through
the aerial lead to the digibox. You can either buy an additional handset to
keep upstairs, or take your existing one with you. But to be honest its so
cheap to buy an extra handset, I paid £19.50 for the TV link and handset
together
The TV link is easy to fit and below is a fitting guide. The TV link consists
of a little box with a red LED on, which plugs into the back of the upstairs TV
and then the aerial lead plugs in the box. Hanging off the box is a 'mouse'
which is what receives the signal from the handset.
You will need access to the rear of your digibox to get the TV link set up, so
don't plug it in to the other TV until you have done the setup. This is all
assuming that you have an aerial system in place that allows you to watch Sky
on another TV, other than the one the Digibox is attached to.
