Sky in my flat - advice needed

My flat has a communal dish with one feed piped into my front room. I've also got a normal tv input and on the same faceplate there is another socket. As far as I know, this extra socket is connected to the sockets in the bedrooms, rather than them being connected to the outside world. So, if I'm right, with nothing plugged into the extra socket, the bedrooms won't have any feed to them. If I get a splitter for the tv aerial I could have tv in each room. Is there anyway of having a sky signal in the rooms? It's a coaxial connection rather than the sky F connection. I've got a spare sky box I could use in the bedroom if I can feed it a signal, would this work from the RF output on the box in the front room? Or what would this do?

Re: Sky in my flat - advice needed

If you have a sky feed with a sky box you can run a cable to second site (bedroom) from RF2 feed from sky box and get a signal on your bedroom set that way

I don't think the second skybox will help without a second sky feed

If you buy a magic eye and a second remote you can switch channels on your sky set from the bedroom

I don't know what chance there is of getting a sky signal through your plugs but I guess it's unlikely

Alternatively if you don't like cables running round the flat and the walls aren't stone you may be able to get a signal via radio,see www.satcure.co.uk
