If you have several TVs at home do you need separate decoders for each set or is
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV If you want to watch different programmes on different TVs, you need a decoder for each.
With satellite, you will also need a "Quad LNB" on the dish, as each satellite decoder requires a separate "LNB" connection for each.
For digital cable and Freeview, the incoming cable can be split and shared.
There are a few options (such as the Pace Twin PVR) that can be used as a decoder for a second room, using only a standard connection for the second TV.
If you simply want to be able to watch the same programme in a second room, this can be done using a standard TV "UHF" cable.

I currently have a sky digibox. As well as watching the selected channel via scart on my main TV, I can view the same channel on other TV's in the house via the RF output. I'm thinking of getting Sky HD+ and noticed it has two RF outputs. Does this mean that as well as watching a selected channel via hdmi I can still connect other TV's via the two RF outputs.
If so, can these two RF outputs show two different selected programmes.
Can the recorded content on the Sky HD+ box, when being played back, be viewed through the RF outputs as well, or is this only available through the hdmi cable.
Thanks
David

David Campbell: The RF outputs are the same, they show the currently playing channel - that on the SCART and HDMI - as a single analogue, mono RF modulated UHF channel.

I have had a Sky box and a second TV connected to watch the same channel in another room. Have now dumped Sky and bought A Humax Freesat recorder. Can I still connect the second Tv and if so how?

Martin West: You can connect your second TV directly to the dish, you just need a satellite-grade cable to a spare output on the dish and another Freesat box, which start at £30. This will allow you to watch any channel on the other TV.
