Just wondering if this is any good? Thinking of getting it for the bedroom as the other bedrooms have Virgin in them, but can only have 3 Virgin boxes in the house apparently.

Can you run more than 1 FreeSat box from 1 Satillite?

You can run a few Freesat boxes per dish, it all depends on how many feeds you have coming from it e.g. Recorders need two feeds.

When you say 'good' do you mean is it reliable? Well yes it is as good as Sky. If you mean, does it have good channels? There is a full list here.

Freesat uses the same satellite as Sky, so all you need is a Sky dish. You can have 1,2,4,8 feeds from a single dish.

Thanks very much!

For some reason, I've got terrible signal at home on the freeview and I assume this is because of the aerial (We've got Virgin so haven't a proper outside aerial or dish) and think if I get a Dish installed and a FreeSat box its got to be better than what I've got at the moment smile
