Currently use the RF output and a signal booster / splitter to mirror sky to other TVs. The picture is a bit mince and I'm thinking about other solutions. I don't fancy getting another Sky box or running hdmi cables everywhere. Thinking about wireless but I've not seen anything that there's a consistent good opinion on (WHDI seems a solution but very varied opinions out there).

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Are you using a Magic Eye? The picture on mine improved immeasurably after I threw that thing in the bin and used my phone to control it over WiFi instead.

Using a decent splitter/distribution amp the picture should be as good.
Get one with "pass-thru" and you can use the magic eyes to change channel.
Remember to turn on the voltage out though or the magic eye becomes a signal loss.
The app only works on the HD boxes though so if you're just on Sky+ its useless.

I use a Cablesson cat 5 HDMI extender. Works well, sends full HD, just need to find a decent 1 input to many HDMI splitter so I don't have to keep swapping the lead at the sky box end!

Sky Go and put an old Xbox under the other TV?

Or we use a simple video-sender system.

We've got a couple of Nikkai AV senders/recievers. They give a fairly decent picture to be honest.

Got Sky HD in the lounge and SD multi-room in our bedroom. With the senders, we can watch in the kitchen and the daughters bedroom, choosing either source at both locations and use the Sky remote

Can do HDMI over Cat6, this also has the ability to have IR control(MagicEye) over the same single Cat6 cable!
