[QUOTE="revjames, post: 497258, member: 5256"] OK. I built a large garage/mancave next to my house a couple of years ago. Mancave part has comfy seating running water, electricity etc and now (thanks to 25mm conduit I ran under the concrete from house when I built it) I have a cat 5e cable and a coax which will reach to the sky box in the lounge. [I] [/I]I have a TV set up in there (primarily as I use the treadmill in there a lot) it passes the time when slogging away on the mill. Currently I have an aerial outside and can get freeview. I was thinking of connecting the coax to the back of the sky box 5v supply and using one of them 'magic eye' remotes. Is this the best way to go? I dont want to run more cables from dish and would like to be able to between sky/ freeview when needed (sky in lounge would change channel whenever I changed it in mancave) not everyone in the house would be pleased about it. Not really had a lot to do with these kind of things so interested in potential solutions. Thanks James [/QUOTE]
