Poser for you all here.

Ok I had better start with the current set up.

Have a Sky Box downstairs in living room that is linked into the VCR, and my 5.1 surround sound working perfectly.

What is the best way to get it piped up to the upstairs room.

I am not bothered about being able to change the channel selected on the box whilst upstairs nor am i bothered about being able to watch more than one channel.

Main reason is the ability to get sky on the upstairs TV withoot having to go through the hassle that i am currently doing which is unplugging me 5.1 surround sound and VCR and the feed then plugging in the coax to the feed upstairs as the upstairs tv has no surround sound etc.

I know the quality of sound on the main TV is not true 5.1 sound but it is good enough and i do not want any quality sound upstairs.

Is there a splitter or any such booster available that will do the above job.

Thanks in advance for any help.
