Help with Sky dish wires

[StuTheGrouch]

This will probably seem really straight forward to some on here, but I could do with some help.

I have a Sky dish on my house with the two cables from from the dish into my living room and into the back of the Sky box. What I also have is three other cables in the living room, with the other ends appearing in the kitchen and two of the bedrooms upstairs. I presume that these are supposed to run from the Sky box and into the TVs elsewhere- I have tried this but haven't succeeded.

I have cancelled Sky now and will be buying a HS Freesat box, probably this one. This has two inlets, which is for the 2x tuners.

How can I set this up so that I can watch freesat upstairs? I don't mind buying separate boxes if needs be. Do I need to buy a splitter for one of the 'in' cables?

(Sorry for the terminology)

That does help, thanks. I did read somewhere (after posting the OP) that I couldn't split the coaxial cables (http://www.uk-satellite-tv.co.uk/satellitefaults.html).

On that link it states that the LNB in the sky dish can be changed. Is that possible?

What hardware could I buy to make this possible?

Do you have easy access to the satellite dish? If you are lucky Sky will have fitted a quad LNB with four connectors so you can add a couple of extra simple receiver STB in other rooms. That means extra cables from the dish though.

There is a lot of useful information on the SatCure website.

Thanks for that. I can access the dish quite easily so I'll have a look; fortunately the dish and living room access are on the same wall about 3 metres apart, so new cables wouldn't be an issue.

Another thanks- that is an awesome website!
