    Split the feed from the existing aerial and feed it to the Saorview TV or STB in the bedroom.

    Use a distribution amp or splitter to split and feed the 2 TVs.

    You say they have Sky already, do they have a feed from the Sky receiver (RF2 output) to the bedroom at the moment? If they have, Saorview could be combined with that at the Sky receiver and supplied to the bedroom on a single co-ax cable.

    So say if tv is on in the living room does that mean they will have to watch the same thing in the bedroom?

    You can watch a different channel in the bedroom provided you have a separate tuner & the relevant signal feed. A separate Saorview receiver will need a feed from the UHF aerial & a satellite receiver will need one from the dish.

    If you are viewing the Sky box RF output on the bedroom tv, you will have to watch the same Sky channel as the living room, but, as already mentioned, the same cable can carry the UHF aerial signal to the bedroom (you plug the aerial into the Sky box RF-in, on to the living room tv via RF1 & the link cable to the bedroom into RF2).
