NOW TV on 2 TVs

I read on a previous post that I can use some wireless AV thingy so that I can get two TVs connected to NOW TV without paying for two subscriptions. Can someone help me figure out how to do this and where can I find such wireless AV thingy? Thanks.

The key question is: do you want to watch the same programme on the two TVs or different ones?

If you want to watch two different channels simultaneously then there is technically no way except to have two sepearate subscriptions running on two separate connections to your home.

if you wish to watch the same channel on more than one TV then yes it is relatively trivial to do.

No, I don't want to watch two different channels on two TVs. I'll be the only person watching it but I wish to have a TV in the bedroom as well as the living room. PDLM, can you walk me through the steps to do this? Thanks.

Ok, I found these wireless devices that theoretically could connect my second monitor to the main NOW TV outlet. Has anyone used these before? How well do they work?

These are low power units and probably operate at the 2.4GHz frequency. If so they may interfere with your DECT phones or wireless networks. Range is mediocre and often blocked by two hard walls. The transformers may get a little hot too.

Yes, the ones I found use 2.4 ghz frequency. I'm inclined to just pay for the 2nd box. Thanks for the info.
