Robbo,

I will explain my set up and you can advise of the best course of action. I have a sky hd box in my front room with the virgin media cable going into the rf input and i have my dish outside with the two sky inputs. I then have a cable carrying the skybox output into my loft, where it gets split into 4 seperate rooms. Each room has a sky magic eye on it and all the tv's can watch 1-5, as well as whatever the sky box is showing (set up on tv's as channel 6). My problem is that 3 of my 4 tv's (not including the front room one) have built in freeview. What i wanted to find out was whether i could do something, either with the virgin rf cable, or with a dish etc to be able to watch freeview on the other 3 tv's.

Sorry about the long reply. I have just read the post from kammy and it looks like it might not be possible. Unless there is a DVB-T/DVB-s converter so i can put it into the back of the sky box.

Thanks for any help

Matt
