Hi,

We are looking at getting Sky TV however we are completely and utterly puzzled. We have a main television then 3 others (one being in a holiday cottage adjoining our house) and they all run off the mail one.

If we got Sky how do we get the signal to the other televisions and if we do this does everyone have to watch the same channel as the main television?

Also with the digisender does that mean that you have to watch the same channel as the main television?

  • With sky, there are 3 ways to share the signal:
    1 With a booster system from the output aeriel socket
    2 With a digisender
    3 Get multi room, you can run up to 4 tuners off 1 dish

    With 1 and 2, all tvs share the same channel as only 1 tuner, with 3 all can watch what ever your main package independantly as each service has it's own digibox.
