I want to be able to get a sky picture on a bedroom TV and in the lounge where the box is. Have tried radio devices like DigiSenders but it is a long way and the walls are thick. Is there a way to split the sky signal and run a cable to the bedroom TV (Dont need to be able to change channels or anything)? Thanks.

Sky boxes have two RF outputs on the back of them, use one of them and one standard TV aerial coax from the sky box to where you want the TV.
To get multiple signals from a Sky dish we changed the single LNB to a quad LNB. I would think this is better than splitting as the signals would be at full strength. The only possible disadvantage is that you would need a separate box for each. In fact we have 2 boxes, one for BBC freesat and the other a Sky box.

Thanks guys. Will try the simpler RF link first to see how much the picture is de-graded.
We've used an ordinary TV aerial wire for years to the bedroom upstairs, there is no difference in the picture at all. You have to watch the same channel of course.
