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
denis

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.

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.
