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