Title: Sky help
Post by: wader leg on January 28, 2007, 07:22:00 PM
Can anyone recommend a wireless sender for letting you watch sky in another room, I'm thinking of getting one as I can't be bothered to lay cables all over the place. I'm a bit worried it might get interference from my wireless broadband though. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ta.

We use the Digisender system, but when I tried to setup my wireless Internet connection, it interfered with the digisender.

So I ditched the wireless, and went for homeplug instead - which sends the internet connection through your mains wiring circuit.

The digisender is fantastic though.  The picture we get upstairs, and in the kitchen is pretty much perfect.

Cheers, I've just had a look on their site and there should be something there to sort me out.
A question on homeplug though, do you have to be plugged in to the mains for it to work? it's just that i like playing poker in the bath (I have a little shelf to rest my lappie) and I don't fancy getting fried if I have a mishap.

The homeplug box is plugged into the mains, but it's connected to the laptop via a normal cat 5 cable.  I've played in the bath, but with the computer safely situated where it's safe from coming into contact with any water.
