I have 2 hdtv's. One in living room and one in bedroom.

Living room I have SkyHD,Home cinema and PS3.

Bedroom I have Sky (normal SD) and a tv link allowing me to watch SKY from the downstairs box.

I currently stream videos from my laptop to my PS3 to watch downstairs, but I would also like to be able to watch the PS3 streams on my bedroom tv and also play games upstairs without having to take PS3 upstairs all the time.

Is there anyway I can do this? Preferebly wireless?

Thanks in advance!

I would also like to be able to watch the PS3 streams on my bedroom tv and also play games upstairs without having to take PS3 upstairs all the time.

As far as i know,i think the easiest way would be to but a HDMI adapter, and then another long HDMI cable and conect that to the TV upstairs

It is possible to use HDMI distribution (over cat 5 network cable(1 for Video, 1 for copy protection data) and simply have a Six Axis control in your room paired to your ps3 (the pads are Bluetooth thus will work around 10m away from the console).

A basic hdmi distribution system would be costly (around £150 to £200) or cheaper once the cable infrastructure is in place.

Or as Travel Fox says; simply a HDMI Splitter and 10m (15m max but no 1080p) of HDMI cable with the spare six axis in the room.

All components should be HDCP (copy protection) and HDMI v1.3 compatible too!

I wouldn't count on the bluetooth signal from the controller reaching to another room.

Try it first and see how far you can get before it loses the signal before you bother buying a long HDMI cable.

you could watch with PLAY thing, but dont have a clue about playing



you would need a PSP though

This all seems like an awful lot of extra hassle and cost for what still might be a flaky solution relying on bluetooth for control.

Why not just bite the bullet and spend the extra on a second console?

[niall campbell]

thats what I would do, and you can always play over your network against each other

[grilli]

you can remote play some games and watch films etc off your ps3 through a psp. dont think its quite what your after tho sorry.

Some people don’t seem to realise how far you can go before the PS3 and controller loose connectivity.

I drove up the street with my ps3 controller on the passenger seat to see how far I could get, the indicator light went out at about 50-60 meters up the road.
I had no problem in turning on my ps3 (albeit by mistake) from upstairs on the other side of the house.

I was thinking of using a video sender to do just what you want, although it wont be a HD signal i dont have a HDTV upstairs yet so not a worry at the mo.

That is surprising. Thanks for the info

Of course, Sod's Law says that the controller will work flawlessly at distance right up to the point where you want to do something useful, and then it'll crap out

[freeview_mad]

Ha, most probably yeah.

I guess it also depends what the building is made out of, our house is 1940's I think (proper built with bricks, and doesn't sound like you are walking in a wooden box).

A good test to see how it fairs in your house would be to stick a cd in the PS3 (or play any soundtracks you have on it) then turn the TV up a bit so you can hear it from where you want to be playing (your bedroom in your case).

Then try skipping tracks or fast forwarding, you will also see if it looses signal by the led's on the controller.

I look forward to hearing if you have any success .

you could try using a video sender but as far as i know they will only work via scart/composite so hi-def would be out of the question
