    I have just moved into a new house and need to get my kitchen hooked up to watch tv.

    I have sky in the sitting room. From my research to date I can use the sky dish to provide uk free to air channels in my kitchen. Also I plan on getting a saorview aerial installed.

    If I buy a combi box I should be able to watch saorview and uk free to air channels through the one interface.

    Q1) Is what I've said above correct?
    Q2) Can anyone recommend a company to do this? I am looking at the option below at the moment. Can anyone recommend these guys? They seem to know their stuff

    You may not need a combi box if your tv has a Saorview tuner.

    One interface. You even quoted it.

    @Tubbs. Yes the company you quoted are reputable and know their stuff.

    The guy who owns it, Tony posts here on a regular basis.

    If you're around dublin/meath/Kildare area I'd recommend​ sat-tech based in clonee. Had him install two dishes over the years and done a neat job each time.

    Really. Well they don't seem to know that there are no Saorview-Freesat combo boxes. What they are selling is a free to air DVB-T/satellite box. No Freesat EPG, no MHEG text, no auto tuning channels when they move.
