About Multi room

With Multi Room you can watch a TV programme that
comes from another TV in your home. The
programme is streamed from one TV to the other. You
can stream a programme to a TV that has no antenna
connection or has no Smart card subscription of its
own. You can also stream a recorded programme
from a TV with a connected Hard Drive.
The TV that streams the programme to the other TV,
must be switched on and must tune to the channel or
play the recording.
Streaming a TV programme with Multi Room will
reduce the picture resolution to 720p maximum. You
cannot stream radio channels. Some broadcasters
protect their programmes to prevent this kind of
streaming.
