In the grand scheme of things my bills are insanely low but I have found a way to save £180 a year by ditching a Sky mini-box and still watching on both TVs . . .
My set-up is more complicated for a number of reasons but I reckon if any of you wanted to do the same you'd need a HDMI 1 to 2 splitter for a little over £5 and an insanely long HDMI lead for about £10. The remotes are Bluetooth so will work through walls and floors if you're within 8 metres of the main box and the only one that watches Sky :smile:
The cable you can just see on the floor is 10m long and goes into the bedroom, that gizmo on the right gets the Sky signal and sends it to that cable and one for the living room TV.
Still testing, had the odd glitch but nothing serious and turns out that was likely my fault - TIP: don't put a power jack in a headphone socket !! - so I'll call Sky and send the box back in a couple of days.

Put simplerer - if there's just you uses Sky and want to watch on 2 TVs 2 choices :- £15 a month or £180 a year for a mini-box for the second TV or . . . £15 or so but only once for a long HDMI wire and a gadget to split one HDMI into 2 ( there's 2 of those gadgets ^^ in the pic, middle and right....View More
