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 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.
