nicharm: If you have a Sky+HD box, you can diconnect this and replace it directly with a Freesat+HD box.

nicharm: No, you can not split a satellite link. You must have a cable from each receiver (and there are two in a "+" box) to a LNB output.

nicharm: Do you mean you use the RF link so you can watch what is on the Sky+HD box in each place? Or do you mean you have a Sky box in each place?
It is best to use a Freesat box (they are very cheap) for each set with a link to the dish, you can then watch any channel you want independent of each other.

nicharm: The analogue RF system is out of date, and is not provided in any recent equipment.
Freesat receivers start at around £30. Buy Bush BFSAT02SD Freesat SD Digital Box - Black at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Freesat digital set top boxes.
- it would cost much less, and work much better than having an "RF modulator".

Brian Springthorpe: Yes, Channel 4 HD starts soon - see Channel 4 HD free-to-air testing on Eurobird 1 | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice and Channel 4 HD to start on Freesat | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
Probably 1st April, as this is the anniversary of when the channel went on Sky's subscription service.

Brian Springthorpe: Film4 HD is currently exclusive to Virgin Media customers, and Channel 4 have a whole transponder in DVB-S2 mode.
So, will this be lots of ad regions in HD, or will it be Film 4 HD, Channel 4 HD+1 and Film 4HD +1 ?

Chris Mead: Do as you wish, but I doesn't sound like you are expert enough to be able to configure the system or understand how it is configured.
