Switching from Sky to Freesat

obliviousgrudge

I have Sky Multiroom at the minute, with a Sky+ box in my sitting room and a Sky+HD box in my kitchen.

I want to get rid of multiroom and only keep Sky in one room. I would be putting the Sky+HD box in the sitting room.

I would then like to use a Saorview/FreeSat combi box in the kitchen. Is this do-able?

I have an aerial connection in the kicthen for the Saorview and have the 2 cables that come from the Sky dish that plug into the Sky+HD box as well.

How do I go about setting it all up?
Is it just as simple as plugging the Sky cables into the Freesat box?

Thanks.

It's do-able apart from the fact that there's no such thing as a Saorview/Freesat combi, only generic sat/terr. boxes.

Well, you know what I mean. So I can just plug the aerial connection and the Sky connections into the box and it should work?

Should work fine, assuming there's a good signal from the dish & aerial.
