I want to split my to connect to boxes in two rooms. Is this possible? Reading the comments it looks like it isnt, and that i need to instead connect from the . The freesat boxes would never be on at the same time. Do i still need to connect from the dish directly?

I forgot to say that the is currently unused hence the reason for wanting to make use of it in two rooms.

Thanks JM, I have routed the wire to one room. Everything works ok. The other questions is, do i need a hd in order to get hd? I noticed that on demand tv (iplayer etc) is possible but only on hd boxes. My dish is about 8 years old. Do i need to my dish to get freesat hd? Or can i use any freesat box as long as it has an ethernet cable?
