When you say you have freeview channels, and then say you cannot get Sky channels this is not enough information that you have provided, but
I presuming in addition to freeview channels you also have a Sky Satalite receiver which is no longer connected to your Tv or your sons tv Either way Sky satalite have 2/4 lines which means you can have four viewings providing multi rooms is bought from sky, and additional boxes are fitted.
Or you can have 1 sky box main Tv and no the spare cable feed at the back of the sky box you can feed another cable to another tv from that same box but it will be same channels But you can now change channels using magic eye receivers etc, in any room.
But the question I believe is you had freeview but no long can receive sky channels the information is a little vague but hopefully I have helped a little
Freeview has nothing to do with satellite. FreeSATis the one that uses a satellite dish for reception. FreeVIEW is received through the aerial.
Also, don't fall for the "digital aerial" scam. I install aerials as part of my business. I've been to homes with aerials 20 years old, covered in soot from the chimney and they still pick up Freeview perfectly well. Equally, I've been to homes where the owner has bought some gold plated multi-finned "digital high gain" monstrosity that has awful reception characteristics.
If your TV aerial is okay, then just plug it in to your Freeview receiving TV and do the tuning.
If you do want Freesat then you will need a satellite dish along with a Freesat receiver.
Hi.
Connect skybox using scartlead, or if you have HD use HDMI lead connection..
Select connection by using the AV (alternate video input) on your remote control--this will switch from freeview to sky.
Happy viewing.
if you have connected your sky box as per instructions, putting the aerial coax to it and a fly lead(as in a male to female coax as used on a vcr to tv) from the output to the tv's aerial input, then disconnect the aerial from the sky box and put it back to the tv. The skybox will weaken and even loose the signal.
If possible, instead of hooking up the TV using RF cable (standard cable) and viewing the TV through channel 3 (or 4) hook the TV up using audio video cables (RCA type yel.,red and wht.) and hook them to the video input of the TV.
I think you need to get Sky because it will give you 100% coverage of all terrestrial channels. You may need to retune the television otherwise just get sky
PIP only works off two seperate signals, eg you cannot watch 2 sky channels at a time, you can watch sky tv and then your analogue channel using PIP or freeview, you can then swap which is to be viewed as a large picture and which is to be viewed as the smaller picture or half and half.
You’re dvd/vcr only has analogue tuner so the only way to record is by using the Phillips tv but as said tv will need to be switched on.you would need a sky or cable box or a free view box separate to the tv to record with tv off.the vcr will recieve only on the av channel av1 when connected to tv.a sky box or cable can be connected to av2 on sharp using a second scart lead and box
