I currently have Sky+ and one of the best features for me is that I can record something and watch it either downstairs or in the bedroom.
Is it possible to get a Freeview Hard Drive Recorder that would work through my current Sky TV link ? I would also need 2 remotes.
Is it a case of just looking for a Freeview box with a RF Out Socket, then trying to source a additional remote ?
Also would it be possible to use my Sky dish as a aerial ? Would the Sky cable coming into my house plug in the back no problem ?

Thanks For Your Help!!

If you can find a PVR that has RF modulation (outputs the decoded signal via RF) then it should work, but most don't do this. The other way would be to connect a video sender to the PVR and plug the receiver into the other TV.

They all have an RF out socket for passing the raw RF signal to the next equipment in the chain - ie aerial > PVR > VCR/DVDR > TV. As already mentioned it would need to pass the decoded signal via RF.

No! Dish for Sky/Freesat, aerial for Freeview.

Are the Sky+ features available with Freesat ? I think it use to be £10 a month didn't it ?

Thanks Again

If you want to use a Sky+ PVR without a Sky sub then yes it will cost you £10 per month for the recording features to work.
But you can (or will be able to in the near future) buy a dedicated Freesat PVR with no subscription charges.
