A few questions ,

Its installed in two rooms , how ?
Do you have a sky box in each room and if so what type , are they sky plus ?
Are they getting fed from the same dish ?

In general , you cannot split the sky cable like analog cable , there must be a separate feed from the LNB ( the box attached to the dish ) to each sky box.

If you have two ordinary sky box's being fed from the LNB , then in all likelihood you have a quad LNB , which will let you run two more cables from the LNB to two more sky boxes. Without multiroom though , you only get the FTA channels.

Other than that , the only other way is to use the RF out on the other sky boxes , but that way you have to watch the same channel on both TV's.
