FTA\Freesat\Saorview and UPC broadband in apartment block

Hi all, I am in an apartment block which is pre-wired for UPC. I know you need a dish and aerial to get FTA\Freesat and Saorview and I believe a communal dish can be installed on the roof. I can imagine it would be an ordeal to convince everyone to drop UPC so the ideal situation would be if we could have both available.…

Hi all,

I am in an apartment block which is pre-wired for UPC.

I know you need a dish and aerial to get FTA\Freesat and Saorview and I believe a communal dish can be installed on the roof.

I can imagine it would be an ordeal to convince everyone to drop UPC so the ideal situation would be if we could have both available.

Can you receive both the FTA/Freesat/Saorview signal while still keeping UPC?
If so, would both signals come thorugh the same coaxial cable as now?
Would Sky TV also be avaialble if desired?

Personally I'd like to keep UPC broadband and ditch them for TV as the channels I want seem to be available freely anyway.
