It would be interesting to hear from Vodafone whether a) the "TBox team" are still around and b) if so, if there are any plans for new features to be released in the short to medium term?

No, we no longer install UHF feeds to other TV sets.

How could you want such a debauchery, leave analog RF in the last century. Maybe split the HDMI and feed into a DVB-T modulator instead, $2K max.

See http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?topicid=136806

Note: DVB-T can be fed over existing RG-59 or RG-6 coax.

Is it possible to have hdmi out and also component out going at the same time? I have this setup on my existing mysky hdi box, with the component out going to another tv in another room. I just want to make sure the T-box allows both connections at the same time before I make the switch to Vodafone. Thanks.

An extension of the OP's original questions....... if you're already a Sky customer but sign up for Vodafone TV with Sky, does it automatically cancel your account with Sky when you switch over, or do you still have to contact Sky directly to cancel your services with them?
