HDTV Question

Posted by: Neil Bennett on 23 January 2006

Excuse my ignoance, but does anyone know what the situation with multiple point distribution of HDTV signals from Sky will be? Currently my Sky input (and the old VCR and the motorised satellite inputs) at the main TV are circulated through the RF inputs and outputs of the different boxes up to the amplifier/splitter in the loft, such that they can be viewed on any TV in the house. Will this be possible with HDTV, or do you lose it through RF and need a direct HD input into each (HD ready) TV??

You will loose the HD stuff via RF and it will look simular if not maybe slightly better than your current sky in the remote rooms. Sky HD is likely to be via HDMI/DVI only due to sky being able to control copying via HDCP, although to get people into it and to broaden it's appeal they may allow it to be output via component too which does not have HDCP protection on it.
