    My main 55" TV has full HD capability. (It is beside the 2TB HD Skybox)

    The Skybox HD output is connected to a DVB-T Modulator.
    The DVB-T Modulator output is distributed to various TVs around the house.

    Which would give the the best picture on my main 55" TV?
    1) Use a DVB-T signal from the distribution amplifier.

    2) Use a 2-way splitter on the HDMI from the Skybox
    Sending one signal to the TV.
    Sending the other signal to the distribution amplifier.

    DVB-T Modulator

    Can you give the make & model number please?

    If there is no noticeable difference in the picture displayed on the TV when connected to

    1. The modulator
    2. The Sky box

    then I would continue as you are.

    I haven't got the modulator yet. (I'll have it setup by wednesday)

    I don't know whether I should buy a passive HDMI splitter?

    Audio isn't an issue as I use Optical from the skybox

    If your using the optical out, then use Hdmi. As the modulator will most likely create a delay and sound will be out of sync
