Hi, Just registered. Don't know whether this is the right thread for this query but here goes anyway.
SITUATION:
I have SKY + HD in my lounge supplied from a SKY dish. In my kitchen I have an old CRT TV which until recently was supplied with a signal from a separate dish utilising a standard SKY box with a viewing card that I paid a one-off fee for (SKY Freesat?). I have now lost that signal for reasons unknown (maybe dish has become misaligned or SKY box has gone duff!). Kitchen TV is now operating on a "DIGILOGIC" digital box using an Portable indoor arial. I am getting reasonably good FREEVIEW.
QUERY:
I am thinking of upgrading my main TV in the lounge and moving the existing LCD HD ready one into the kitchen to replace the CRT. Can I utilise the existing SKY dish supplying the lounge TV to also supply signals to the kitchen TV assuming that I am also going to buy a FREESAT+HD box for the kitchen. Is it likely that the SKY dish LNB is a quad as it is already supplying 2 signals to my SKY+HD box in the lounge? Are there any difficulties that I might encounter? Would the B&Q Ross FREESAT+HD receiver be any good or should I purchase a more quality one as suggested in previous replies.
I would be grateful for any guidance. Cheers
