Newbie TV over Satellite Queries
Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the Newbie questions I have tried searching and found lots of info but they all expect someone to have already started and understand the basics. I need to understand how to get started as a complete beginner.
My Objective:
I am moving into a new home which only has a TV point in the Living Room along with a Sky Input. I believe the current owners have Sky Q with 2 other mini boxes.
What I would like to know is how can I use the existing Satellite Dish to receive TV and then distribute this signal to about 8 different TV's using Wifi.
Most of the TV's are Smart TV's and therefore can get subscriptions such as Disney+, Netflix and Prime on the TV's themselves so it is really about getting TV (Freeview\Freesat type signals via the satellite dish)
Questions:
1) - What would I need to achieve this objective?
2) - How do I tell what Dish I have?
3) - what would I need to do in order to achieve my aim above? (I don't really want to install new cables if I can help it.)
I am open to all options and am not averse to technical options which require installation or configuration. Happy to consider everything.
Looking for all advice, links, guides for a newbie just starting out.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
