Using alternate recievers in one room

[welshexile]

I currently have a zgemma h2s box running but my wife is finding it more complicated to control than the old sky box. (don't ask me why )
She only watches FTA so I was wondering if it was possible to connect two boxes (zgemma and sky)off the same cable but have a switcher/splitter between them so only one box was ever being used at one time.
That way, when I'm not there , she could switch to the sky box .
Save swapping cables all the time Is there such a switch ?

Nice one, I'll have a look

Is there an option for her just watching FTA on the TV through your aerial, thus negating the use for the sat box. Or, is it to do with what remote control she's used to?

She cant get regional on tv freeview, aerial , and she finds recording easier on sky.

Recording on zgemma boxes is not far off like sky easiest thing to do is just run more cables from Lnb on dish as if fitted with a quad lnb you will have spare ports

If you cancelled your sky sub she won't be able to record on the sky box anyway

Yeah, don't you have to pay per month just for the privilege of recording fta stuff on a box they don't want back??

would a hdmi switch be any good for what you want to do?

 

[Tich]

It would be no good as he needs signal to both boxes first

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll just run some more cables to the room.
