Sat tv wiring

partan

currently working on an extension on my house and using this opportunity to sort out wiring for tv around the house.

I currently have Sky+ in lounge & a freeview skybox in loft bedroom.
Am using RF2 from lounge box to feed master bedroom.

My query is, if i fit a digital tv aeriel and connect it to the lounge skybox, and if i was then to connect the rf2 outlet to a splitter, would all the TV's connected then have access to the sky digital channel currently on the lounge box as well as having full choice of all terrestrial freeview channels?

if this was the case, then i would only be running one co-ax from the lounge skybox to the splitter, then one co-ax to each tv point.

thanks for any pointers, even if they are just to call me a muppet :T

Yes,if you run a feed from RF2 & connect it to one of these;

You can run two magic eye's to control the Sky box,the terrestrial feed from the aerial is carried on a by pass thru the Sky box to other TV's.

The one's I posted below are the one's I use & recommend.
You can also get those in a 4-way & they are compatable with the magic eye's. (I use one of them to send a signal to three rooms no bother)

If your getting magic eye's I recommend these;

As I've found in the past that the one's below break easier due to the connection block plugging into the TV socket.
