    Watty has helped me out on this but I failed to tell him my second TV has also got a Sky DigiBox. I have added Watty's suggestion for reference.

    'Since you have Sky, feed aerial into RF in (optionally via VHS) and use RF1 and SCART for local set and RF2 for other set.
    Go Services 4 0 1 select for service menu to change Sky RF from 68 to something empty'

    I can have a UHF High Gain Aerial and a VHF Band 111 Aerial combined in a Band 111/UHF variable gain Mast Head Amp leaving one downlead to the PU.
    The PU has 2 outlets. I am not sure why.
    I am a bit ahead of my time here but the Band 111 aerial is for DAB. I have DAB here in the UK and love it!

    I'm pretty sure I can do what Watty suggested but obviously will I need to seperate the VHF from UHF before I feed UHF to the RF in the Sky Box. I think what I need is a UHF/VHF combiner/splitter. Just feed the input/output from the PU and feed the SkyBox from UHF outlet and the DAB radio from the VHF output on the combiner/splitter. That is the main TV sorted out. I think!

    For the second TV I presume I take a cable from the RF2 on the Sky Digibox to the Terrestrial Aerial input on the other SkyDigi Box. Is this correct?

    I suppose I could feed the DAB radio from the second outlet on the PU and have no combiner/splitter but I'm not sure if this is a good idea?

    Would I be beter off to get an 'Attic Box' (I'm sure they act as amplifiers as well) no mast head amp and PU and feed the aerials seperatly to the 'Attic Box' and distribute from there? Where would I find a decent one in Ireland?

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Oh no! It's kick off time! :eek:
