The set up in our house is -

Room 1 - Smart TV which has a Freeview Aerial and a split cable to the old Sky Dish for the Freesat channels (we don't subscribe to Sky).

Room 2 - the other part of the split cable from the Sky dish goes into the old Sky box for the second normal TV.

At present we don't have anything to record TV progs, unless the Smart TV has this capability perhaps to USB/Hard drive? So, what would be the best option in terms of linking up a Recorder? Does this need just the Freeview aerial or if it needs the old sky cable does it need both parts?

Not sure about recording but with all the interactive services out there you should be able to catch up with alot of programmes you miss. Youview is a particularly good app if you have a smart TV. Or if you don't you could get a media streamer like a WD TV Live which will give you these Smart Features and will allow you to stream content over your home network i.e. from a laptop or my personal preference Network Hard Drive (like a My Book Live).

Ive got a Samsung 3D Smart TV.

Its connected to broadband modem with an ethernet cable but it was dead easy to do as the BB modem is sat on the Sky Box under the TV with the Sky box also connected to it.

I dont use any of the smart features, and havent watched anything in 3D for ages, but its there ready and waiting to be used when it takes my fancy.
