I am currently converting a small detached garage into a summer room and want to run a TV feed into it. I currently have the full SKY HD package but cannot justify the extra expense of multi-room. My question is, how can I find out if the current satellite dish can support an extra feed from freesat? Advice gratefully received.

If your LNB on your dish has a spare connection (or 2 if going DVR) then that is all you will need (apart from the cables and freesat box) if not upgrade the LNB.

Do SKY want to charge extra for the priviledge of the same household watching the same package but in a different room of the house then?!

As a Freesat user myself, I couldn't believe it the other day when I discovered that there is an ITV4 HD but that it's *only* available via fcensoreding SKY.

The Tour de France with Ligget & Sherwen in the commentary box and HD pictures would be great but after my last SKY 'customer experience'... I guess SD will have to do.
