Default Signal transmitters to get Sky in other rooms

Hi all.

I want to get Sky in the kitchen so today got one of those remote signal
transmitters/receivers. It was only 25.00 and basically the picture was
garbage so I'm going to take it back. I was basically wondering if all of
them will give a mediorce at best picture or do the more expensive ones give
better results. Any particular models I should look for? Or maybe anyone
could suggest an alternate solution.

Cheers

Some brands are better than others but price doesn't seem to be an
issue.

You do need to try the various channels and also give some attention
to positioning and orientation.

I have used a video sender for several years now and the picture/sound is
very good.

I disagree. I use them often in situations where it is difficult to
run a cable, or for temporary use. Get the right brand and they are
fine.

Which are the recommended brands?


I tend to use Televes senders. I don't know if these are available in
the UK.
