Can I replace my TV aerial with a freesat dish ?

Can I replace my TV aerial with a freesat dish, connecting the old coax cable to the dish and using freesat boxes instead of digiboxes throughout the house? Does each coax cable run have to be individually connected to the dish, or can u have one cable with splitters coming off it (for different rooms) ? Thanks

1. Yes you could change from aerial to dish
2. You would have to change coax as it is a different type
3 You could use splitters (but you would not have control of your channels in other rooms unless you have a box on the end)
4 If you install a dish which must be fitted correctly (the dish has 4 outlets
6 You can use splitters from your aerial to your digi boxes as well
Hope this helps?
