Splitting Sky & Freeview to different rooms

indiegirl_2

hello...

I have Sky and Freeview in my lounge at the moment, but want to be able to access them in my bedrooms as well. I'm not bothered about watching different Sky channels (Multiroom is expensive), so I plan to purchase a couple of Magic Eye extenders which will suffice for our household.

However splitting Freeview is causing me some issues. I was going to buy a 4-way amplifier to put into the loft, feeding the RF2 from Sky into it. However I'm confused about Freeview.

My questions are thus:

1. Should I have two amplifiers in the loft; one for Sky (with bypass for Magic Eyes) and one for Freeview?
2. Can I buy a 2-input amplifier that will work for both Sky and Freeview? (taking 2 inputs and outputting to one co-ax to each bedroom?)
3. Can I input Freeview to RF1 on Sky and will that feed Freeview as well as Sky out of RF2? (can't see how) - only needing one amplifier in the loft.
4. Is there a dual input, dual output box on the market that will allow me to run 2 cables in and 2 cables out for each room? (so 2 input, 6 output but only for 3 rooms)

Methinks #1 is the most simplistic option and more straightforward!

All you need is a coax cable from the main tv to the bedroom, there's no need for an amplifier if the picture is decent on the main tv already.

Thank you for your response, but you've confused me even more! Surely I will be weakening the signal by attempting to split it down to 3 extra sets? (I'm planning on adding the capability to watch Sky and Freeview in 3 additional rooms)

Also, when you say about running a coax from the main TV, do you mean from the output on the Sky box?
