That box turns the HDMI signal into (roughly) a Freeview HD signal, which means the TV in every room needs to have a Freeview HD receiver.
Also, depending on how your coax is wired and whether there are amplifiers involved, you might not be able to feed a signal into the system from the living room socket (i.e. it needs to come through the loft or whatever).
I'd skip the coax and just get generic wireless HDMI boxes, which will be cheaper and much less faff. How many rooms are we talking about?

I have vague memories that Sky boxes can output a second non-HD TV channel over the RF output.

Anyone know anything about distributing a HDMI signal over coax.
My house has aerial points in each room so I thought I could use them to distribute the picture from my virgin box in the living room to the other rooms.
I assumed that something like this should do it but reading the reviews there's lots of talk about connecting sky boxes to the RF in and the HDMI which I don't understand the reason for (I've never had sky so don't know if it's a sky quirk). I'm not worried about remotes, that will be done over wi-fi.

Any ideas on what to go for?
