Wireless sky!

[VectraMan]

When I used one (actually to connect TV out from my PC upstairs to my TV downstairs, but that doesn't matter), my wireless router would interfere. You'd get a horizontal line going down the screen about once a second.

I'd bet that's what your neighbours have.

Damn - forgot to mention that you'd need to add a Sky Link and a second remote for about £25 total. Thanks Tazman.

Zorba the Greek (Geek?) is right... just use a direct Coax connection between your sky box and the other room(s?).

I couldn't be arsed to do it myself and paid the man from Sky to install a Sky Link system... i.e. cable plus eye (for remote control). So we have Sky+ in my bedroom now, which we can control completely from there. I also have a Sky+ box in the lounge, and another Sky+ box in the games room, and multi-room running all of the channels.

Hardly watch the damn thing.

If you can't find a way round it, you can run a second coax cable from the back of the Sky box. It does have to be enabled in the setup menu though, but there are instructions on the internets. I'd normally google it for you, but I actually have something to do today.

My cordless phone used to bugger mine up. Shagged the wireless LAN up too.

Through plugging their TV into their sky box.

[SallyAnne]

is that box thingy a, 'media extender' ?

Milan.

I dont know. Its a small metalic box, about the size of a dvd box set, and it has a button for different frequencies, and an on/off button.

Thats about all I know about it, apart from the fact that it makes sky come on my tele!

Yes, our microwave really makes it go nuts, but this latest one is just an annoying little heartbeat...it drives us mad! We switched off every single electrical device in the house last night and it still happenned!

He's away into town now to try and buy something better, if something better exists!

Hi All,

This is probably bloke talk, but I'm going to try anyway....my other half has got this funky system in the house where all our tele's access sky wirelessly.

Try to avoid standing directly in front of your sky dish, Sal, everything will then be fine.

Hi All,

We've got these little box things which hook up to our tele's and they all pick up sky from our sky box in the back room downstairs.

Anyway...(hopefully yous all followed that!)...lately we seem to be getting loads of interferance. All our tv's keep flickerring and it's getting to be a right pain in the arse. All we can think of is that maybe next door have bought an Xbox or something stupid like that which is interfering with the sky signal?

Have any of yous came accross similar problems?
