i'm going to cancel my sky subscription and get a humax "Humax FoxSat-HDR Freesat 320GB HDD" box which i believe will be a straight replacement for my sky+ box.
at the moment i have in the loft a antiference tv signal booster/splitter which is powered by a 9v rf output on the sky box, does the humax have a powered rf output on the back i can't seem to find out.
if not what would be my options to keep my aerials working :)

The Humax Foxsat doesn't have RF Out at all.

Nor does it have UHF input for "Pass-through".

Might it not be easier to keep paying Sky £10 per month keep the Recording features of your Sky box alive?

it would be easier i guess to stick with sky but i'd rather not if i can help it.
anyone know what i would need to get it working i forgot to add i've also got a magic eye upstairs at the moment so i can watch a different channel upstairs.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Then you have a unique remote eye. None in this neck of the woods allow you a different channel.

The loftbox is useful for keeping a numer of televisions with the signal from a Skybox, but unless you have an old video recorder you can use as a modulator(or buy a standalone modulator), you will not be abe to see the output from the Humax elsewhere.
