Hi

My dad currently has the old SKY UHF decoder with the output split to one tv and another one in a different room downstairs. A physical wire goes to both tvs. This setup is fine for him and he doesn't need 2 decoders. In addition he has a 2020 AV sender receiver connected to the video (via RCA), which he can use to send SKY to a 14' CRT tv upstairs

He has just purchased the new W series bravia tvs which will go where one of the tvs is now downstairs. The question i have is can he continue to do this with SKY digital i.e have 2 tvs connected via the existing cables and the AV sender doing its thing?

Can all SKY digital decoders do this or does it need to be a particular model?

Can MySKY HDi do this also? I have MYSKY HDi and believe this would be the best option but don't want to disturb the ways of an older person!!!

BTW: He doesn't have SKY movies and is not interested in it. All he wants is the SKY Sports :) 

Thanks

Sky digital and original Mysky will do it fine using the RF output on the decoder. MyskyHDi doesn't have an RF output but I belive Sky will provide an RF Modulator to allow you to do it (or you can buy one from the likes of Jaycar)
