It's been years since I had to do any of this, so if anyone could help I'd be appreciative.
Customer wants 5 positions of TV.
At each location he'd like Sky via RF2 port and UHF for freeview tuners.
So if I supply a loftbox and wire 5 locations from the box, that should cover the locations.
Where I'm getting confused is the UHF aerial signal.
Should I have a direct cable from the aerial down to the Sky box, plug this in the Sky UHF socket and then the UHF signal will be returned to the amplifier via the RF2 uplink, or do I just take the UHF from aerial to amplifier?
Reason I ask is that some have suggested that the signal will be very weak if the aerial goes direct to amplifier.
Rolling on from this, if the aerial link is taken in and out of VHS and DVD units before finishing at the Sky+ box will that mean via simply channel tuning that the remote TV's fed via the amp will get DVD. VHS and Sky ?

People write to us to complain that the picture quality is absolutely abysmal on the secondary TV sets. This is invariably because they did not complete the "downlink-uplink" return connection. The signal coming out of the Loft Box "living room feed" must be returned to the Loft Box, otherwise the secondary TV sets will not receive it.
