Can we run both Freeview and Sky off this dish at the same time?
Otherwise what's the best option. It's got to be very easy to use the Freeview and NO change to the existing Sky system.
The Mrs has the Sky now and doesn't want anything to change.
Her mum is coming to stay, (OMFG), and we'll need to set up Freeview for her. Just like she's used to. No changes.

Sure, they should be running off of the same satellite. You will need a splitter to split the signal between the boxes and hope that the impedance doesn't get all stuffed up.
But you should be able to get freeview on UHF so won't need a satellite?

The possibility is there but I sincerely hope not ! But she's very old and in bad shape and the Mrs wants to try to get her in better shape. Anyway I don't think it's possible lmfao........
I was just trying to avoid extra dishes/Ariels or using the internet. Simply wanted something the old duck would find familiar or easy to use. Thus either Freeview as she knows it or perhaps Sky Multiroom which should be manageable for her.

Do people actually watch normal TV? I only watch the news on normal TV and I am subscribed to a few streaming channels and that does me for my viewing
Despite the high cost of living it remains popular
