HDAV Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Sky dish will work for freesat not freeview, freeview needs an aerial.........................

Might be cheaper to get an aerial fitted try local paper for a CAI installer http://www.cai.org.uk/ and http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yeah looking into it now and also multiroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yeah looking into it now and also multiroom. Multiroom? Or do you mean points in other rooms? Multiroom is a sky thing...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Sorry maybe i didnt make it clear. I have an exising subscribed to sky hd box and dish in my livingroom. But put a tv in my bedroom and thought it was a case of getting a signal through my sky box via the connected ariel points. Sorry if i have confused things.

HDAV Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Ah ok thats different you can run RF2 from sky HD to bedroom TV (via wall sockets) and watch sky in bedroom on analogue PAL (rubbish quality) but works! even lets you change channel in bed https://accessories.sky.com/tv-link?DCMP=KNC- Only same channel on both TV's when viewing sky Edited January 20, 2014 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 With an Rf2 can i watch different channels at the same time in either room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 NO same channel on both TV's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks very much you have been most helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 No bother, if you have Sky HD and want to watch different channels in the 2 rooms then multiroom from sky isnt a bad option at £10 a month but in a little over a year an aerial will have been cheaper so will a humax box and fitting a feed, depends if you need to watch 2 sky channels at the same time or if its one sky and one freesat/view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Dont really need to watch sky in both rooms. Its **** at the best of times. Iv got a few numbers of local ariel installers so will look at that. Thanks once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
