Current set up a Sky + in back lounde connected to a tv via scart

RF2 goes into loft, and drops down to every room via coax with a magic eye thing.

I want to have HD on the main tv (different room to sky box) soappreciate the box will need moving.

Anyone know how best to upgrade my system, i am not hung up on keeping the sky products as long as I can watch all the sky channels (if that makes sense).

I'd also like to option to watch foriegn channels if possible (footie)

advice welcome

You will need to get two co-ax drops from the dish to the new Sky HD position. You may need a quad LNB if you are going to keep the existing Sky+ box. You can pay for Multi-room and run both boxes.

As for foreign Footie. This will require a new dish on a different satellite and a further receiver and more cables.
