Other TVs aerial set up
Since removing old sky+ box tv’s in other rooms don’t work on free view. Obviously an aerial issue so how do you connect other tv’s aerials to watch freeview on other tvs?

Re: Other TVs aerial set up
@JohnP3 This doesn't sound like it's a Sky Stream related issue. as Sky stream does not use aerial cables.

@GD1 I suspect the OP has replaced Sky+HD with Sky Stream

Eith a simple back to back coaxial aerial connector, or possibly an amplifier if you are in a weaker signal area.

You won't get a Freeview signal from a satellite dish. Freeview needs a terrestrial aerial not a satellite dish. If you can wait for a bit Freely boxes will be released in the near future which work over the internet so no aerial of any kind is required.

Re: Other TVs aerial set up
Sky+ HD boxes had a terrestrial television passthrough capability via an aerial socket: this has been posted about numerous times by users moving to Sky Q and losing signal from an aerial which was being fed through the previous Sky box to internal coaxial cabling and television tuners. DTTV can typically be restored by rejoining the now discontinuous cables behind the new Sky hardware.
On the DRX890 above the aerial socket is below the left hand dish input.

The first Freely streaming device, the Netgem Pleio, is already available.
