Re: Distributing Sky Digi

["Ewen Cameron" <ewenjc@xxxxxxx>]

I use the labgear to distribute the lounge video to the bedroom, no=20
Sky or DVD at the moment :(
It works very well.  I found mine in Dixons (it looked like old stock=20
they were clearing) for 29 quid.  I was getting some interference=20
(now fixed) which seemed to be caused by the mess of cables behind my=20
video and hifi.  I've been thinking about getting their amplified=20
splitter and additional IR mice but have not had the time.  Let me=20
know how it works if you get one.
