2 boxes and 2 decoders on the same line

Good evening, let me explain my problem.

I currently have a router connected to a TV box in the living room, but I would like to have TV in my bedroom as well.

Is it possible to connect a second router in my bedroom and link it to another TV box? Will the network be cut off on one of the two routers?

If not, can I use 2 powerline adapters to power the second TV box? (this way I won't need a second router). Will both TV boxes work in that case?

Thank you very much!

    Hello,

    Two boxes for the same line won't work.

    On the other hand, two decoders are possible; you need to check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) about what they offer and if it's possible to have two decoders with them.

    Hello,

    On the SFR website, they offer to pay €7/month for Multi-TV. I prefer to buy a second-hand decoder for €40. I will connect it using my 2 powerline adapters; will it work then?

      Hello,

      That's a good question. It seems to me that they made this offer to force people to take this subscription because using another decoder doesn't work. It's worth checking with SFR, even if it means directly asking them, but I know that some operators block the use of multiple decoders if there isn't a multi-TV subscription.
