New to site and V+, switching from Sky+

Hi All,
Im about to take the plunge and switch over from Sky+ to V+. theres just one question i wanted to ask really.

My current Sky setup allows me to feed an RF cable to my bedroom, where, by using a remote eye, i can still watch and fully control the Sky+ box in the living room.

Is there such a device which works for the V+ box?

Thanks

Yes, any standard IR sender should work. Even your Sky eye, if you can find a power supply for it. (Unlike Sky boxes, cable boxes don't have a powered RF output)

ps. Welcome to the forum!

"Illegal" I think that needs rephrasing perhaps
