    Im 99% sure this isnt possible but here goes anyway.

    It would be cool if people had the option to specify the output of a particular service.

    E.g.
    Live TV -> Output Via Skart 1
    Playback (Planner) -> Output Via RF2

    This could allow me watch the footy in sitting room and also allow the missus to watch her pre-recorded soaps in the bedroom. :D

    Not do-able yet....it is on the way in the next generation of boxes, basically multiroom with one box! No news of release dates yet, some people saying mid year others saying end of year.

    If anybody's interested in this kind of setup on freesat, I can recommend this

    http://www.hm-sat-shop.de/festplatten-receiver-eycos/eycos-s-6012-pv2r-twin-250-gb.html/

    I bought it one on eBay - secondhand, about 400 eur. Very good picture quality and user friendly menus.
    Some limitations on what can be done in room 2 if room 1 is in use
    No LAN connection, but it does have USB. Overall, an excellent 2 room PVR

    You can review it's single room counterpart here...http://magazine.tele-satellite.com/TELE-satellite-0603-eng.pdf - (14Mb file)

    Also markerted by Arion - same machine I think, but remote control is a bit fidgety

    The box was mentioned last year by a reliable member here, though I think the box was in early prototype stages. Like other things that were developed, it may never make it to market.

    I read it in wotsat that sky were in the process of allowing this process to be installed, may be the way forward for multiroom sub's as the Sky+ will be the standard sooner rather than later me thinks..
