Good point and yes, you could run a second HDMI but the distance would be much less compare to coax. Also if you're going thru walls, you'll need to drill a much bigger hole.
Can you have a separate remote control in each room? I presume they all connect to the main box via Bluetooth (if it isn’t too far away)? Can you add more TV’s? I have 8 around the house, all currently connected to an old sky box with a coax splitter using the old RF2 system. What do you think about upgrading to hdmi coax? Great vid btw 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
I've connected two bluetooth remotes and the one in the kitchen works fine - so distance between adjacent rooms shouldn't be an issue - however, only one can use voice search.
This might be a silly question but I have the coax going directly into the second TV as I am not using it for anything else. That being the case will this work or is it better to use the receiving hdmi box and plug it into the hdmi port?
If you plan on using these boxes you have to each box connects via hdmi to set-top and 2nd TV. You cannot connect coax directly to TV using this setup.
Yes just for aesthetics. I used a cargo strap secured to the mounting points on the TV. I believe you can get aftermarket brackets for the qbox to wall mount so should also be suitable for this job.
@Because I can't afford the expensive stuff: These devices are great but never understand the need for there to be a sender and receiver, you'd thought a simple hdmi to RF coax modulator using the digital terrestrial tv band would be easier, just connect coax to other tv and tune in using it's own inbuilt tuner.
Hi, I have tried using a similar product. However, after using two separate products, the splitter knocks off the broadband to the sky q box. Have you come across these issues?
Nice. Is it possible to do this and get 4k on the secondary tv? Or is HD the max on this method?
In the old days u can connect two tvs in one cable ..now idont know f its going to b free if I will try to connect one tv on sky q cable
Very informative, I take you could also use HDMI splitter 1 into 2 and run a full length HDMI cable to the additional TV for even better quality?

Am i right that the 4k signal out from the Sky Q box will be downgraded to 1080p to both receiving TVs?
thanks for this. can't wait ti give it a try. :)

Hi you have your q box fitted to the back of your main tv.
Is it for aesthetic reasons?
And how have you fastened it?
Yhanks
Yes just for aesthetics. I used a cargo strap secured to the mounting points on the TV. I believe you can get aftermarket brackets for the qbox to wall mount so should also be suitable for this job.
Note that more modern Sky-Q boxes now have HDCP which recognises the HDMI splitter and will not transmit any signal, making this method unusable.

You might be on to something 👍
Hi, I am looking to do something similar but why are using a co axe extender and not just a long hdmi cable from the splitter. will it not work?
The size of HDMI plug makes it difficult to run leads through walls. Also I was using coax with the previous sky magic eye remote so easy to reuse.
Hi do you use cheap normal hdmi cables ?and do you need a splitter on the second tv?
The 2 boxes are connected using coax and you can use any hdmi to connect from the box to the the TV. 2nd splitter not required.
Hi, I have tried using a similar product. However, after using two separate products, the splitter knocks off the broadband to the sky q box. Have you come across these issues?
Hi, that's odd... your broadband shouldn't be affected because you're only extending the HDMI.
Can I just run a coaxial cable from 1 tv to another ?
Afraid not... unless you're using an old sky box with a magic eye extender.
But this is nothing what the mini box gives you. You are litterly just mirroring your sky box. Pointless if two people want to watch separate shows
Very true, but if you would just like to watch sky in a different room it's a sub-free alternative.
Pointless we want sky multiroom not sky same room
@@bigddlover1 go big daddyy
Shame it’s not wireless. Too much of a faff to be honest. I’ll stick to my ‘alternative’ Sky viewing methods using my Firestick instead.
