I have just moved down the road to a house which seems to have always just used satellite. I have twin satellite cables coming into the living room and a single one coming into an upstairs bedroom.
I would prefer to use an aerial and Freeview as it would be compatible with my existing TVs/PVR. Would it be possible to use the existing satellite cables (running from the roof through the house) to hook up an aerial to the TV? This would save me getting additional cables fitted. Are satellite and aerial cables compatible with appropriate adaptors?
There is an existing analogue aerial socket in the wall but it gives a pretty useless picture and is located in an awkward place, so I can't really use that one.
