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 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.

What you need

To stream and watch TV channels from another Philips TV, the
other TV needs to serve as a TV channel source. Both TVs must
be connected to your wireless home network.
For more information, press
Wireless Network.
If the other Philips TV — the source — has a model number
that ends with an eight or higher, e.g. (the screen size)
XXXxxx8 or (the screen size) XXXxxx9 and it has the latest
software, you're all set.
On the other TV, read the Help chapter on Software update to
update its TV software.
If all conditions on both TVs are met, you can use Multi room.
