I want to move from sky to Freesat HD, presently I run 2 tvs from one Sky box via the RF output (I can only change channels in one room, but that isn't an issue) but I can't find a Freesat HD box with a RF output.
I m not bothered about having HD in the second room but do require a being able to view the Freesat in some manor there. Is there a box available which I have missed which will do this? Or is there an alternative, inexpensive route I can follow? Thank you for any help. Last edited by doobatron; 07-10-08 at 04:43 PM. |

When its say compatible it only means that you can receive the channels but not the EPG or interactive services
