What is the best thing for me to buy to enable me to watch Sky on my bedroom tv?
I dont want to pay out for mulit-room, so I'm quite happy to have some sort of signal sender/receiver. Question is, whats the best bet for me to get?

Do you want to watch two different Sky channels on the two TV's, eg Sky Sports in the Bedroom and Sky Movies in the living room at the same time?
So if that is not a problem then just hook up a video sender to the Sky box. If you are not using the VCR SCART on the Sky box then that would be an option.
The main problems with Video Senders are...
They don't much like transmitting through walls and floors. So OK if the bedroom is above the living room but might be an issue if the Sky box is in the basement and the bedroom is in the attic on the opposite side of the house!
If you or your neighbours have wireless networking on your broadband, or your neighbours have video senders themselves you may struggle to find a completely interference free channel.
Though if you do have a wireless router and can get a decent signal on a laptop in the bedroom (assuming the router is in the same room as the Sky box) then chances are a Video Sender will work as well - as long as a free channel exists obviously.
Where is the best place to get these? I take it its a standard piece of kit?
Click on the link.
I think the product is around £45 and it will suit your needs including the ability to change the chanel on the sky box from the bedroom.
Let me know how you get on and what you think
Good luck
