Sky or VM

[k.jacko]

so guys,
if i get sky+HD, without shelling out too much more, can i use my existing ct100 cabling and loftbox that i use to distribute my freeview signal throughout the house to do the same for the sky instead?

yeah but they will have to have their own feed (ie quad or octo lnb)

[k.jacko]

err......err.....ok then.
So i'd have to stick another (quad) lnb on the dish, and take feeds from that?

With a quad LNb, yes up to 4.

With an Octo, up to 8.

More than that, you can use a multiswitch with a quattro LNB.

Although for neatness, for any more than 4 a multiswitch would be better anyway.
The switch would go in the loft.

the who? the what? and the where?

Of you could just connect your loft box to the second FR out put on the sky box and then the sky signal will be distributed (you can only watch the same channel though) and if you put magic eyes in the rooms you can change the channel from that room.

Keep up dude, VM has already put up 4 new HD channels, with the view to adding more later in the year.
Sky has just put up their subscription too.

I'm not a VM fanboy btw.....i'm giving you the latest.
