Default Splitting SKY digital around the house

OK

We have a sky digital plus box down stairs in the lounge, and a normal sky digital box in my room up stairs.

How would we go about splitting it so that we can have sky in all the bedrooms (i know they would only be able to watch the same sky program as the box upstairs, not a different sky channel in everyroom, if that makes sence)

When we had NTL it was easy, just a aerial splitter and it all worked spot on

Sky's got my confused

Help pls LOL

I use a 'Loftbox'. It is a 4 or 8 way box that takes the signal from the Sky Box and distributes it via either 4 or 8 outputs. I can get Sky in almost all the rooms of my house.

You can then add a 'Magic eye' and Sky remote to each room, giving control of the box.

OK, so you can't watch different channels, but its a good system.

You can also give the 'Loftbox' other signals, such as FM Radio, CCTV etc etc and this can be output to the other rooms.

I have 1 piece of Cable running to each room, into a normal single F-type connector plate.

There is a 'Supply' and a 'Return' to the Main room and thats it.
