Hi,
We have Sky in the main living room and want to buy 3 new Smart TV's in the Black Friday sales for the bedrooms. As we don't have a terrestrial aerial we can't get Freeview,
Does anyone know what the rough cost is to have a multi-room aerial fitted so we can watch Freeview in each room? Or, even Sky!

TIA

Do you have an aerial socket in the living room? I do but the aerial was taken out of my loft years ago. I've just been quoted £120 to connect a new aerial in the loft to the existing cabling, plus £15 extra for each extra room it needs to run to. Need to make up my mind as I gave my notice to sky 2 weeks ago so only have 2 weeks of tv left at the moment!! Deciding between that and converting my sky dish to use as Freesat...

We've got an old Sky dish that we use for Freesat, it was already on the house when we bought it and we didn't do anything to it geeraf, although there may be a difference in between the Freesat service and the Sky version of Freesat that we haven't noticed!

We need to upgrade our aerial so watching with interest.

About £150 for a complete new digital Ariel plus £25 for each extender.

@ChicCauldron I'm moving over from sky Q and they have something on the q dish that needs changed so you can use Freesat... I've already tried it in my tv and couldn't get it to work so I'll have to pay out £70 to get it changed...

How do you find Freesat though? Is it just freeview but through a dish? Haven't actually spoken to anyone else that has it!

It's through a separate receiver - you can use the Sky box (we got an old one to see if the dish actually worked!) and now we've got a Humax hard drive recorder that has Freesat built in.

£70 seems a lot!
