We have a Sky+ box in our lounge hooked up to a plasma TV via coax and SCART. The TV has integrated Freeview so we can get analogue & Freeview by alternating the "TV" button on the remote, Sky on AV1 and a DVD on AV2. In our playroom we have a similar Freeview TV with its own aerial. I'd like to be able to run Sky channels on this one without forking out for multiroom. I have seen distribution/amplifier set ups with magic eyes which can change channel in the "non-Sky" room and this is one such:
ASDA direct | Sky Compatible 4 Room TV Distribution Kit | Cables & Sockets
My question is thus:
These appear to run off a coax connection rather than SCART (presumably because of length). If I hook this up to the Sky+ box from the single coax Line in socket on the TV, does that mean I lose the ability to view Freeview on the 2nd TV ? I thought the Sky channels output on the Sky+ box would have only fed through the SCART and that the coax connections were simply a feed-through for analogue & Freeview.
