Unless you are looking to combine the output of the sky box with the aerial signal and distribute to other tv(s), you are best to plug the aerial lead directly into the tv . You can set your sky remote to change channels on the tv by pressing the tv button, than ch up and down.
You need a 4 figure code to do this .
Comprehensive list of codes here, http://www.satcure.com/tech/digicode2.htm
or find via sky inteactive help.

I have my DTT Ariel plugged into my iDTV(straight in) and also have Sky Digital going into the tv via the scart. i also have Sky being sent around the house on cable too... each tv has only one channel, the sky channel

Is there any way to send the DTT channels around to non iDTVs in the house, along with the sky channel?, cause that would be awesome.

If you plug the aerial into your skybox and have a lead from rf1 to the tv aerial socket, you should have the analogue terrestrial chs and the sky box output at your other televisions.
You may need to adjust the RF output channel of the sky box to avoid inferference.
No way to view DTT on tthe other tellys unless you buy a MPEG4 STB and feed the video output into a RF modulator, daisy chained with the sky box. That would be a waste of time and money though.
Wait a couple of months until Saorview launches officially, cheap STB's should then be available. Put one at each tv.
