We have a sky dish and run a Sky box in our living room which we pay the monthly subscription for. We also have a box in our bedroom for which we used to pay the monthly subscription, however, having stopped paying we now just view the freeview channels in the bedroom through the Sky box.

My question is: Can we run a cable from the Sky dish round the house and into our kitchen and run a sky box in the kitchen, just viewing the Freeview channels. We have an old Sky Box in the loft which we could utilise. If possible, is it a relatively simple procedure?

If indeed there is a spare output on the dish then it is just that simple, if there is not then you would need to change the LNB for one with enough outputs on it.
