Upgrading from Sky+HD to Freesat+HD | Freesat

Hi, really sorry if I've missed this anywhere but would it be possible to ditch sky and replace it with either freeview or freesat but still have it powering other tv's around the home. Mainly we watch what's been recorded on the sky box in the living room upstairs and can control it by magic eyes?

Thanks

Matt

jb38: hi, thanks so much for the links. So let me get this right (before I do it and am hung out to dry by the wife).

Cancel sky and replace the box with a freesat pvr.

Simply plug in as per diagram on triax link and this will enable all tv's around the house to watch whatever is on the freesat box and be controlled by magic eyes?

Will this also carry a signal from the normal aerial to other TV's? Currently when can watch sky in any room and also just watch freeview if someone else has sky on.

Thanks very much

Matt

jb38: brilliant, thanks very much for such an in depth reply. It helps a lot. It may be worth going down the route of freeview then which would enable us to watch recorded program's elsewhere from the main recorder but also have the added option of freeview on other TV's.

I take it the simple rf modulator would be the triax tri link again, or is it a different one for freeview, last question I promise, ha ha,

Thanks.

jb38: perfect reply. Thanks very much. It's good to have all the info to hand to enable us to make the correct decision. Why oh why can they just not make a pvr with an rf2 output!!!!

Thanks again.
