1338572 2013-04-28 05:14:00 We are out of our house for Earthquake repairs, and I am helping brother in law (where we are staying) with Freeview installation. As everyone (at least here) knows analog disapppeared today. The question is: can we run one TV in the house on sky and another on freeview at the same time using the same (Sky) dish? Brucem (8688)
1338573 2013-04-28 05:25:00 You can find the answer here: www.freeviewnz.tv under the FAQ "How do I connect both Freeview and SKY to one dish?" Agent_24 (57)
1338574 2013-04-28 06:06:00 I've research this a bit but haven't performed it. You need a multi splitter that supports satellite so the main tv has the sky box and the other tv needs to get a freeview satellite decode box or a satellite tuner device for the computer. most difficult thing might be needing to run the cable while hiding out of view ... you could get uhf aerial and just run a single cable to the other room. satellite freeview doesn't do HD by the way.

I've got satellite aerial and UHF roof aerial multiplexed to other end of house -splitter and each end so that my study TV can switch between terrestrial and satellite boxes. coldot (6847)
