Sky hD yo sky q upgrade

Hi,

 

first post.!

 

I currently have sky hD which is very temperamental so am thinking of moving to skyQ. My installation currently has a sky dish on the chimney and a roof top aerial  alongside. There are only 2 rf cables coming down from the roof so the tv aerial and one of the sat cables are multiplexed together and split out again at the tv so I can watch freeview as well as sky. I know the skyQ system works in a different way so am wondering if the rf and sat signal can still be combined in the same way or will my freeview stop working ?

 

thanks

That's not a possible cable setup for Q: in addition you may well have trouble getting a Sky installer to change an LNB on a chimney-mounted dish.

@dpat  If your dish is on the Chimney then Sky won't use that they will install  a new dish in a more accessible location running twin feed cable to the main Q box and leaving the existing cabling alone..

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Thanks. It may be a non starter then. The house is terraced and the tv is right in the middle of the house. Concrete floors with laminate on top. Current cables embedded in the walls. Might have to go freeview recorder.
