saorview installing

kklufc

hi, new to boards, thought best place to get info i need.

In-laws looking to get saorview for second tv, they rang installer, quoted over €200 for basic saorview and over €300 to do a saorview/sat combi.

They have sky in living room and roof top aerial in sitting room where saorview going. Can easlily do basic, but if i was to do the combi, whats best way to attach the sat cable?

would a splitter before sky box and run cable into sitting room work or is it more complicated?

also whats the best saorview/ sat combi to get?

thanks in advance

The satellite feed should come directly from the dish. If they have only have one Sky receiver & it's Sky+, then there are certain to be spare connections at the dish. (Might be anyway, no matter what type receiver they have.)

In some parts of the country, a suitable aerial can also provide a perfectly usable signal from a UK terrestrial transmitter, so satellite may not be necessary.
