Hi

I have Sky+ in the living room and in a bedroom a freeview TV fed with digital signal amplified from the aerial splitter 4 way box.
Off the back of the Sky+ box I have fed a cable to a TV with internal freeview, both cables into a double wall socket, then from the socket two cables into a "Y" junction.
With the sky ON or connected down stairs the the digital signal is lost.
Also intend to use magic eye for sky.
Both work ok independently.

Can I have both connected at once?
Or do the two signals/cables have to be phsically separate?

Any ideas guys ???? :-doh2Thanks.. Ian

On your Freevew TVs can you get analogue channels as well as digital? If so, do they disappear as well?

I'm not 100% sure what you've done there, it sounds a little over complex.

The standard procedure would be:

From terrestrial aerial to back of Sky+ box, , from back of sky plus box to distribution amplifier (needs to be tv link compatible), from amplifier to other TVs.
