Hey guys. Just a quick question I thought you may be able to answer for me. Since I have a HD blu-ray cinema setup I was considering getting FreeSat HD in the near future. But I just wanted to clarify if it would work with my setup. Basically all i need to know is whether or not I'll be able to get a freesat HD signal from my satellite dish if I'm in the bedroom at the back of the house that recieves analogue signal from the splitter in the attic that is connected to the sky digital box in the living room. Although skydigital is a digital service it is sent as an analogue signal from the sky digibox to the splitter which each TV in the house can share (but only watch the same channel). I just wondered if my freesat HD box will require a DIRECT satellite dish input to work (aka only in the livingroom like the sky digibox) or would it work with the analogue output I have in my room?

thanks in advance.

Freesat requires it's own sat feed, two if you get a PVR version. Freesat PVR does not output a analogue signal to go around the house.

To get the HD signal you want, alongside continued use of the SKY box, will require a quad LNB on your dish, a cable feed (ideally 2) to your bedroom and a Freesat HD receiver connected direct to your HD TV. Even if you abandoned SKY and went for Freesat exclusively you would still need a receiver connected direct to your TV. You can obtain an analogue signal from a Freesat box via a RF Modulator connected to the 2nd Scart output, giving you the same distributed signal as your SKY box, but that signal would not be HD.
