Sky and Freeview

[xwordmad]

Hi - Can you have sky and freeview running at the same time? Thanks.

I haven't got Sky, so I can't be certain, but I would assume it makes use of the TV's AV channel, as does Freeview, so I would suspect not.

In one word NO!

i have a sky box and a freeview box and have wired my house like this.

aerial on roof goes into freeview box, lead from freeview goes to aerial in on sky box, lead from sky box goes to vcr aerial in, lead from vcr is split with a simple triangle splitter (at this point i will add that the dvd player is plugged in via a scart to the vcr)....one feed goes to local tv, the other is sent via a cable under the floorboards to the front room of my house where it is plugged into a booster. from here it goes into the local t.v in that room.....then goes upstairs and is split again for two t.v's upstairs! if i want to watch a dvd in the bedroom i put the vcr on av and watch the vcr's output.

the only thing which is a pain to do when you set it up is to tune all the rf outputs different so that there is no clash of signals.

I have a freeview PVR and a Sky box pluggend into our main TV. They are on seperate AV channels (most modern TVs have more than one). It works fine.
