Hi guys, Just a quick question regarding viewing different channels on more than one TV. I have been asked the question how do you get different channels, say on 5 TV's. My response would be you need a receiver/set top box on each TV. I told him this but he said he was in a hotel at the weekend which had Sky in every room (I think he said 16 rooms). How does a hotel do it? There is no set top box in the room and as opposed to you selecting the AV channel or spare channel to get your Sky or whatever channel on then using your digtal remote to select the digital channel you want you just use the one TV remote which has the Sky or whatever tuned in to the TV. For example; Sky Sports 1 on channel 6, Sky Sports 2 on channel 7, Sky Sports 3 on Channel 8, Sky News on channel 9, etc. I hope I have explained it clearly enough, if anyone can help I would appreciate it. The guy who asked me has his own Pub and would like to know as he has 5 TV's and when Euro 2004 is on in June he would also like to put on say the Golf or Cricket or whatever. Cheers.
