    I picked up a wireless sling box type yoke in Maplin recently for €167. Interestingly it was €122 including shipping from www.maplin.co.uk so I ordered one there and will be bringing it back to Maplin (with the receipt for €167) for a refund when I get it! I hooked it up to my sky+ box and with a bit of tinkering was able to get it to learn the remote codes. Local viewing quality is very good but remote viewing was pretty ropey over my basic 3/256 smart package. Once I upgraded to 7/512 quality much improved.

    If there's enough interest I might make it available for a limited period to
    boards members to check out the picture quality. For copyright reasons it only allows one user at a time to login so I'd have to give out a time slot via PM.
    . To use it you'd have to download the setup program from www.pinnaclesys.co.uk first.

    Streaming the payTV channels from Sky box is against Sky T&C. The worst penalty though is that they disable your viewing card.
