Hi

I had the sky engineer add the cables from the dish in to my HC room when he put a new dish up. I already have Sky HD in my lounge but I do not want to pay £199 + a monthly subscription for another HD box in the other room.

With this in mind I would like to put a good HD freeveiw box in the cinema room, however, do i use the Sky feeds that are awaiting connection or do i need a bog standard coax fed from the lounge??

I would appreciate you recommending a top notch box and what is the best way of connecting it. I also have a coax then fed from the cinema room to the kitchen which is about 7m away...........would i need a booster of sorts?

i would also like to change channels in the kitchen without having to go in to the HC room, what do i need to do this??

Sorry for all the questions and I appreciate your input.

Dave

I take it you mean Freesat not Freeview in your 2nd para (Freeview is terrestrial, fed from an aerial). You don't say whether you want a Freesat receiver or twin tuner recorder - but in either case the best available is generally considered to be the Humax Foxsat (though not every one is entirely happy with the recorder). The receiver takes one feed direct from the dish; the recorder, two, though it can function in a limited fashion with one. See Welcome to HUMAX [UK] for info on these machines.

To get signals from the Humax receiver or recorder to your kitchen, & change channels from your kitchen, you could use a video sender like these - video sender : Maplin Electronics

Thank you for your reply G

Yes freesat is exactly what I meant
