Freesat

[admin_exported]

Looking to stick a 37" Panasonic plasma with built in freesat in my back room in time for world cup, as no doubt that is where i will get relegated to. At the moment i have an RF cable going from my Sky HD box, up to my loft to a splitter box, if i use this splitter to provide picture the the 37" will that give me freesat? or does it have to be supplied straight from the satellite dish, i do have 2 a spare port on the satellite dish so can do this, will just miss out on playback from the HD box unless i put a switchbox in place.

Your Panny needs a seperate feed from the satellite dish to receive Freesat, as do all Freesat sets. There is also no reason why you can't run the RF cable from your Sky box as well - the Freesat tuner uses a seperate F-type connector (like on the sky box).
