    Hi all,

    Not sure if this a question for the satellite or terestrial guys but I have a feeling that maybe the solution might be in the terrestrial end of things, maybe not.

    The parents are splashing out an upgrading the main tv in their house. Heres the chosen model complete with built in freesat tuner.
    http://www.currys.ie/Product/SAMSUNG-UE46ES6300-Full-HD-46andquot-LED-3D-TV/312928/339.0
    What they want is to have as many "free" channels as possible along with sky as sometimes sky channels are watched in rooms other than the main room.

    So at the moment the sky+ box is in the attic and distributed to various other room along with the terrestrial on 1 cable. The main room has 4 coax cables coming down from the attic and its unfeasible to pull any new cables into it. The new tv requires a terestrial feed and a satellite feed, so tht is 2 of the 4 cables used, no problem with that.

    However I want to relocate the sky box from the attic to the main room (while maintaining the duplication of the sky signal in other rooms) so that the full sky picture can be seen on the new tv without any loss of quality. To do this I need to have 2 satellite feeds to the sky+ box and 1 more with terrestrial and sky signal from the rf out of the sky box going back up to attic where connections to all other rooms are distributed from.

    So basically I'm short of 1 coax from the attic to the room. I'm wondering is there a way to combine some of these signals (3 satellite from attic, 1 terrestrial from attic and 1 terrestrial with sky to attic)? And what would I need to achieve this? Hopefully I didn't make that too complicated.:)
    Thanks.
