| I believe so, the £80 installation is optional from looking at argos. You can plug in an existing co-ax lead from an existing sky dish |

what's the deal with existing house aerials?
will it work with this, also is it worth jumping in now, i thought only BBC HD was available for 4 hours a day 
edit
this is no good for me, you need a satellite dish, and we already have Sky, but wanted this for different room.

If youve already got sky, then you can get this. You will need to get a Dual LNB, its the bit that protrudes from the dish, a dual LNB gives you 2 outputs instead of the standard one sky install, you can also get a quad and oct? LNB for loadsarooms.
Just Take the old one off, put the dual lnb on, and route a brand new cable to the second room. No need to pay sky for multiroom either. |

yeah just don't want cables running everywhere, the dish is on the other side of the house.

| Not sure about oct LNB but you can definately get quad. When we upgraded to Sky+ we had a quad fitted. So we have 2 cables to the Sky+ and one to another Sky box in the house. We managed to layout the cables quite neatly cant really see them. |
