sorry, dont know if i am in the right place but i am new to this. i have sky plus installed and want to distribute it around the bedrooms. i have two feeds to sky plus but no aerial cable. i was told global loft box would be the answer but spoke to global they just confused me or i confused them! any help would much appreciated.
 
Welcome,

Loftbox OR 'IR link' amplifier.

Coaxial from RF2 output of Sky Plus receiver to TV IN of amplifier located in loft location. Then outputs to rooms. You can add TV link eyes to these rooms for remote IR control. You'll need to switch on the remote power supply function on the Sky plus receiver.

thanks for your help. not meaning to sound stupid but do you mean a global loftbox is ok? is there a wiring diagram i can see so i can understand it in black and white?!
 
You don't need a loftbox, it has features you won't use and costs more money, you simply need a TV link compatible amplifier with as many outlets as you have bedrooms.
 
Amplifier with IR bypass required, mains or remote powered.

If you want Global then the F140, F180 or F280 depending on the number of outlets.

Typical diagram below showing an F140 and cabling config.

Add a uhf aerial to sky box and this will be distributed too
 
thanks for the info you have given, on the diagram it shows one cable for sky and one cable for aerial going to sky.where would the two cables go for sky+ and how many cables do i need coming down from amp in loft and how many return cables do i need? am i right in thinking i will need three coming down(two sky+ and one aerial) and one return to amp? even though the loftbox has more than i need on it i am trying to do it with the least amount of cables as possible so would this be better.
 
If you use a Loftbox, then that will diplex the downward aerial feed and one of the Sky feeds, so you would then only need one or two other cables, some loftboxes have the facility to diplex the second feed to the return feed.
