Well, if you just have Sky+ in one room (I.E. NOT Multiroom) you will have 2 spare outputs on the LNB.

So to connect up you just get some satellite cable & some plugs, connect the plugs (do a short circuit test if you can) and connect them to the unused outputs and then to the old Sky boxes in whatever room you choose.

If your old box still has a card in it (I.E. you got a new one when you went to sky)
You just ring Sky up and discuss it with them &they will turn your old card into a Freesat viewing card for free.

If your old box does not have a card in already then its only about £20 from Sky if you ring them up.

Assuming the old box still works fine you can receive all the Freesat channels that they are offering. (not including HD etc of course).
