We are considering getting Freesat at home (want better reception, some of the free channels but don't want full Sky, can't get Freeview as the coverage doesn't get us), Freesat is basically Freeview through a minidish and settop box for a one-off charge rather than a subscription.

The question is - how could we pipe that around the house to different tv's so each is independent (i.e. changing the channel doesn't affect the other tv's) - do we need to get a set-top box for each tv?

Any help/advise greatly appreciated inlove.gif
