[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1094898, member: 175144"] A client has been looking at uppgrading from HD to SkyQ based on the promotions (ha ha !) His current system is a SkyQ box in a cupboard under the stairs and this feeds four televisions in the property through RF (with the Global 1:4 amplifier) and then global eye units to change channels. He has also run a HDMI distribution througout the property so all televisions get glorious HD as best as the Sky box can offer. It's a three storey property as well wth the longest HD cable at 30M , but everything works. If he goes for the Q upgrade, I doubt Sky will attempt to connect in the same way, and of course he will end up with Q minis in areas where only two can be on at any one time, irrespective of the range issues. (plus he is with Virgin for broadband, not Sky) Does the Q main box have a i/o interface like the last of the HD boxes, or will he need to look at installing a IR blaster under the stairs as well ? I can see this is going to be an expensive mistake in fettling without improving on the original, moreso if Sky replace his ageing Raven Mk2 to boot, making retrofitting a quad a bit of a nightmare.
