| 857191 | 2010-02-11 06:13:00 | I want HD (no problem as I live in Auckland). 1) If I get a TV with built in Freeview and replace my aerial with a UHF aerial, what happens if I later want Sky? I guess I would have to buy a separate Sky decoder. And Satellite dish. But can I use my TV with built-in Freeview? 2) If I have a UHF aerial can I run an ordinary old fashioned TV off it as a second bedroom TV? Thanks in advance. |

Yes, as far as I am aware they will both be able to work together. 2) If I have a UHF aerial can I run an ordinary old fashioned TV off it as a second bedroom TV? You should be able to, you just need a splitter (www.partridges.uk.com). |
