Adding multiroom for my mother in law

[Anthony125]

My mother in law is house bound and is being put to bed quite early by her carers. She wants to watch sky after she is put to bed. How do I get Sky into her bedroom? She can get a bit confused so calling might be a problem. My wife has power of attorney

Sky+ is no longer a current Sky platform, and Sky won't sell additional subscriptions or add-ons for it.

If the specification of the existing box permits, you may be able to install a 'magic eye' coaxial cable distribution system, although the vintage of this technology brings additional issues.

Sky only offers Q as a satellite product and Glass/Stream for online consumption: note the interface for these are substantially different to Sky+

@Anthony125 I was thinking that if the SKY box supports it then the magic eye as @TimmyBGood  mentions via RF would possibly be the best solution

This would need an RF (as used in TV terrestrial aerials) Cable running from the SKY HD box  & a 'Magic Eye' which I believe can still be found on ebay. The Magic Eye is needrd to allow the remote to be used control the box from the other room 

EDIT : BTW This requires the Bedroom TV to have an anaolgue tuner - ok for older TVs but may not be present in more recent TVs

It is a long time since I had a SKY HD box and there may be some aspects that need further consideration. 

Hopefully one of SUs that have current/more recent use can advise further.

SKY's current solution of SKY Q may not be that suitable for your Mother in Law - you may wish to read some notes I have made for people considering switching from SKY +/HD to SKY Q

SKY +/HD to SKY Q
