I have the TV sockets in most roooms too.

if i run coax from the TV socket in licing room into Sky box, i can then pick Sky up in the other room ?

You have a licing room? Eeeeeeeewwww

As far as the RF goes Weeksy, the chances are that all the TV sockets in your house are fed from the same terrestrial aerial via a splitter or distribution box.

All you will do if you plug the RF output from your sky box into the TV outlet is to send the Sky signal to that cable. It won't go through or past the distribution box.

What you need to do is run the RF output from the sky box to the input side of the distribution box in place of the feed from the aerial, (actually, you will want to run both the aerial cable and the sky cable into a combiner, then into the dist box so that you don't lose terrestrial tv) then the signal from the sky box will be duplicated on every other outlet. Any TV in the other parts of the house will need to have a channel tuned into the sky signal just like tuning any other channels.

All the TV's will be getting the same sky signal though, so if somebody switches channels on the sky box, all the TV's listening in to that sky signal will change channel as well

Yeeah,thats about it Jools.Too much vino rosso to think straight.
Not a problem in our house as we only ever seem to watch Eurosport and Kerrang!

Thanks Keefyboy. I only have ariel sockets in the lounge and one bedroom.
My tv is in a massive cabinate which weighs a tonne and would probably rupture myself trying to get it swopped over quickly. I like Dibbles system because I can always take the portable to the garage or shed to watch in peace, if I've fallen out of favour with the wife.
