SKY+ and freeview distribution.

[Stevet1984]

Quick question.

a friend has got 3 coaxs to his main tv point where the sky+ box is all running back to the loft. Also a single coax to every bedroom.

The questing is: Is it possible to distribute sky and freeview to all the other rooms with this or would he require 4 cables at the main tv point?

He can use a distribution box in the loft, such as a Labgear or LoftBox and then feed multi signals down a single coax to a diplex or triplex outlet wall plate - ie Freeview/TV, Satellite and DAB or FM or whatever

Various methods are described on these pages:-

Where do the cables from the dish go?

What kind of setup does he want? multiple TVs with one sky box (so only one sky channel can be watched at a time)? multiple sky boxes?
