Hi,
I have a standard sky box in sitting room and am planning to upgrade to sky+HD. I also want to get a bedroom hooked up with a standard box. All my bedrooms are wired for tv back to the hall with one coming in from satelite wire which is connected to the livingroom tv cable.

My question is.....when the installer comes out will he just determine the correct bedroom cable in hall and split it there, or will he have to run a separate cable from the dish into the hall?

For any box theree needs to be a direct cable ran from the dish to the room you require, for HD there needs to be 2 cables ran from the dish to the room required.

As you said ur cables are in the Hall it may be easier to run a cable directly from the dish to the room required, by drilling directly through the wall thats if u are ok with that of course.
