I have Sky muliti room in the lounge and main bedroom. Looking to put a TV in my home office which is where i spend most of my time. With the TV going on the wall ( a little short on space ) and not wanting to pay another £10 a month to Sky can i use these Sky Eye things? Running co ax cable shouldn't be too much of an issue.
With these being a co ax cable, will i still get boss quality and see the difference between HD and the normal sky channels?

I'm not sure. Know there are two twin cables running from the dish to the multi room and lounge box. I live on the third floor and don't have a ladder to get up the dish so would rather do internally if possible.

If your LNB (the thing that points at your dish that the wires come out of) has any spare outputs you could run them to your other TV. But you would ofcourse need a sky (or freesat) box. Depends what you want to watch. If you want the same as your main TV sky box, then you need to pay for multiroom. If your happy with just freesat channels then a freesat box will do. (remember 1 LNB feed for each tuner in the box, so sky+ etc uses 2 feeds).
Alternatly you could use a 2nd output if your main box has one, i.e. 2nd SCART or HDMI (dont know if SkyHD box has more than one HDMI) or a HDMI splitter.

think so, it was fine on the portable I used to have, just the quality is a bit dire on the lcd, but what can you expect for essentially an analogue signal

And another sky card if running from the spare LNB connections to another box?

Having massive issues with my internet at the moment so just swopped over to BT. They have given me one of these On Demand Boxes as a package cheaper than BB and Line Rental  Will probably wire that up in the office for now.
Best of all, work pay for my internet, BONUS
