    With saorview coming in i decided t get a new flat screen. I got the Walker tv that can take the Satalite connection straight in the back. I originally had Standard sky installed but just removed the cable and put it into the tele to get saorview and Free to Air. What i was wondering was could i split the Free to air signal to 3 other TV's and how. Thanks for the help

    You won't be getting Saorview from a satellite connection. There's no point splitting satellite connections either; each tv will "fight" for control of the switching in the lnb at the dish.

    Get a multi-output lnb (quad or octo) & run separate feeds to each tuner.

    The lnb is the device on the end of the dish arm, that collects the signal, frequency converts & amplifies it for sending over cables to the receiver.

    If you have a Sky dish, you'll need to fit a Sky lnb, as they are made to suit the oval dish shape.

    Google is your friend here; quad lnbs are available cheaply & most come with adapters to fit the slightly different dishes Sky have used over the years.
