TV to TV using wifi/network cable

[R32UK]

Is there anyway I can send a HD picture from my sky box to my tv upstairs?

I know you are all thinking pay for multi room you tight b*stard... but I really dont want another box in my room as it will not look right with the rest of my setup and I dont really have room for it. Not to mention I dont need multiroom as I can watch TV downstairs and upstairs at the same time.

I do however have a few powerlink network thingys around my house so could easily plug into a socket... just wondering if its possible thats all

Is there something called a slingbox that does this?

not via wifi i dont think only way that would work is via pc not sky..... You can use something like this my friend has 1 and im pretty sure he said it works with SKY HD and you can take the remote upstairs and change chanels  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rimax-5-8GHz-Wireless-Sender-Receiver/dp/B001DZVJGA/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328966644&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Thanks guy.. I just wonder if I could then plug this into my powerlink. If so then thats exactly the kind of thing I would be looking for!

Most likely HD Video over Cat5 wouldn't work through a homeplug/powerlink because it needs to be a direct point to point Cat5 cable.

If you want to run HDMI over Cat5, you want one of these:

Or here's a dirt cheap one:

And unless you have 2 HDMI outputs on your Sky box, you'll need an HDMI splitter.

Yes.. this is just what I thought. 

For the price of that spliter though I may just give it a try...
