tv aerial

Thanks but you prob need to read the previous posts about my shenanigans. I think I now have sky feeds and freeview feeds in all 5 different TVs around the house which is what I wanted. I use similar to magic eyes but prefer the powermids as they're less temperamental by experience. Means we can change DVDs etc in bed. It's probably only taken me 2 days total to rig it all up in the space of about 9 months!!

Ah, didn't go back to the discussion from May last year.

I think your system is way too complex and unnecessary to be honest. Looking at those diagrams makes my head hurt.

I prefer to have a more modern set up with HD and On demand to Multi-Screen boxes.

Not complicated now ive got my head around it i although think the diagrams make it look that way!

1 aerial. 2 sky boxes. HD and on demand in main bed and lounge.

Not sure what other way I would be able to do it and I asked a lot of people! You must have some very very long hdmi cables!

Be interested to know if there is other stuff I can do?

Apple TV? Netflix or alike? Sky on demand doesn't allow me to get this.

No, the Sky signals come from the dish and the On Demand from Home plugs. Only two (very short) HDMI cables per TV; one from the Sky box and one from the Blu-Ray Player.

Homeplugs are devices that connect to your electric wiring so you can transmit interference to yourself and neighbours.

I've had them for a few years now and have never experienced "interference", only a very reliable internet connection in multiple rooms.
