Hi guys,
I registered the other day just to see what all this fuss is about on the sky one thing!

Anyways, to the point - if anyone could answer this i'd be very greatful!
To cut a long story short, we've had analogue cable for the past 10 years or so, and still have the old style 99 channel black boxes with the dimmly lit green lcd display - remote doesn't work anymore <grin>. As our roof aerial is compleatly broken all our tv's in the house are currently running off the main tv cable box using a Y-splitter. The tv's can all get the terrestrial channels 1-5, and the odd cable channel like sky news (well, not that now obviously :P) whist still being able to pick up the channel that the cable box is currently tuned to.
My question is, can I still use this setup If I conveted and went for a digital package? or am I going to be forced into paying the extra Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10 a month or whatever it is to be able to view any kind of tv such as the terrestrial etc in any of my other rooms? Ive searched the forum for similar posts but can't seem to find anything similar.

Thanks alot in advance!
