Just wondering if the following scenario is possible.....
..... The missus is always watching recorded programmes rather than live TV. So the question is can you watch a programme recorded on the Sky+ hard drive while someone else watches another sky channel in another room via a digisender type wireless receiver (connected via SCART)?

Not until they finish development of the next generation of boxes, on which it will apparently be a possibility. :)

Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!)

Unfortunately you're going to be needing a second box, therefore you'll have to pay $ky a tenner a month if you want it.

The only other option is to try to get to the tv before the missus, I'm guessing her reply will be :-123

They'll supply whatever you want, not sure what the charge would be though. :)

It's £99 to upgrade to Sky+ but probably double the price again for a second box!
