[QUOTE="hurdy, post: 661951, member: 340944"] Hi everyone, Firstly thank you for taking the time to read this post. Please excuse me, I am kind of a newbie when it comes to TV and satellite signals. I have a question about distributing satellite signals around my house. Let me exaplain my current setup. I have a satellite installed by Sky for SkyHD+. I asked them to install 8 outputs on the satellite dish (i think you call it an octo or something similar) where currently 2 of them are being used for the SkyHD+ box. This leaves 6 spare. My house also has 1 areal, currently used for the Analogue TV signal as we cannot get freeview, where the analogue signals are distributed to each room via several LabGear Distribution Amplifiers (exact model unknown off of the top of my head, I will post back again with this detail). My question is, can I mix the satellite signals from the output of the Sat Dish into the existing house coax network that accomodates the analogue signals, then have freesat boxes on each wall point to decode the freesat channels? or do you have to run satellite signals and terrestrial signals down seperate cables? I also have a second question. With satellite signals, can you take 1 feed from the satellite, then split it, so then I effectively have 2, and then have 2 seperate decoder boxes running from this? or is it strictly one feed from the satellite dish for 1 decoder box, or 2 feeds from the satellite dish for 2 decoders etc etc? You can take 1 terrestrial feed and split it many times for various terrestrial decoders, so I wonder why not with satellite signals? After all, a satellite signal is still transmitted as an analogue wave, the original digital signal is mixed with a carrier so it can be transmitted wirelessly, then you demodulate it to get the "inside" digital data. I will leave my questions here as not too have too many questions floating around. I thank you very much again for your time out to read this and I am really looking forward to your responses.
