[QUOTE="alaninperth, post: 558831, member: 305035"] :)I am a newbie so bear with me if my questions appear naive. I live in an area where there is no digital signal until 2010 so to get what most people get free now on Freeview I need a satellite dish. The basic £75 pay once with no ongoing charges deal from Sky suits me and I plan to get this and cancel after a few months and just be left with the Freesat; are there any issues with this idea? I have some questions about getting the satellite signal to other rooms Can I split the signal from the sky box to the TV to other TVs using something like a TVlink T140. I assume the TVs will all receive the same channel? For those other TVs which can receive either TV direct from the TV aerial or from the satellite signal how can I feed both into the TV without having to change cable each time? Once I have cancelled the subscription can I use the dish to get different channels in each room by add a fitment to the dish running an extra cable(s) etc. What kit would I need? I have read on some forums that it is necessary to supply a return feed to the set box; what is this for? It is red button facilities etc; if so does this affect any of my plans above? The sky multiroom facility seems to need a phone line to each room. Why is this? Thanks in advance for any replies received [/QUOTE]
