    I have a dreambox downstairs, is it possible to watch it on my tv upstairs as well?

    Ive a motorised dish with a line coming in my bedroom and downstairs in my lounge.
    I watch most of my tv in the bedroom.
    In the past i had 2 boxes but now move the box up or down.
    Ive a twin Lnb so can watch 2 boxes on the same satellite at the same time.
    The only thing you cant do is move the dish from the upstairs line.
    Another option you have is one of them magic eyes.

          Cheapest and best option is to swap your lnb and get a twin or a quad and get a new line added.
          Not going to cost you more than 50 quid if a fitter does it.

          Magic eye works on sending a signal from the box to the tv.

            You can also get a wireless eye from mapling, you plug the scart into the back of the dreambox and place the eye near infra light and conect the reciever to the tv upstairs through the scart and this will also do. It looks like a very small mini dish.

                  Also you can use a audio/video sender works a treat.

                  [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suy5VbJDqh4]X10 Video Sender - review - YouTube[/ame]

                  and they come in different sizes even smaller than this one and as stated plug and play for approx ?20-00 from asda, sainsbury etc main outlets or any good electrical store .... Cheap as Chips from Harrods...

                  PS:- if i am correct you have to hard wire the magic eye meaning cables everywhere, with the audio / video sender it's wireless.

                  Ahh here you go the choice is yours......

                    Hi guys. Thanks for this. So what's the best option? I mean, I want to watch upstairs on tv my dreambox despite it being downstairs. I don't mind if you have to go back downstairs to change the channel. The cheapest and easiest option? thanks
