    TV Sender

    I have a Samsung Virgin Media cable box in the lounge and want to watch cable upstairs.

    Not too bothered about the remote control working upstairs, easy enough to set the channel I want to see then go to bed.

    Tried one that is meant to work with Cable from Argos, but did not for £40

    Don’t really want to spend £££’s on a Digisender Gold as this is overkill.

    Anyone got a Sender working on a Samsung cable box?

    Plan B – get a bog standard £20 sender, feed through the video and keep video on instead.

    I've tried to use video senders before, but my experience was poor.

    A combination of distance, number of walls and pass through and interference by other electrical gadgets like microwaves and WiFi installations.

    My set was operating on the 2.4GHz band.

        £5 a month or free on their top package, IIRC.

        That's what I have at home.

          Yep, going permie.

          The £19.99 video one it is then, and route the cable through that....

            Buy a slingbox,

            Then you can also watch it at work whilst you while away your permiedom.

              I used one a couple of years ago, but WiFi would interfere: I'd get a horizontal line moving slowly down through the picture, so I'd have to switch off my router every time I wanted to use it. Okay back then as not many people had WiFi, but now at least five of my neighbours do.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                A true permie would just move their bed into the lounge.
