trig42: Basically, assuming you are in an area that can receive the Freeview UHF signal, you just need an antenna feed to each location you want a TV.
This will require a decent UHF antenna on your roof, and a splitter and 4 runs of RG6 (1 to each room) off the splitter.
That is the most basic, and will get you 4 independent TVs running on freeview.

i was looking at doing this, but i have read that this can cause signal lose. True?
khull: If you are in a residential area, a decent indoor antenna should be enough. Friends and family rubbish out saying indoors antennas are crap - true for analog but digital signals are better quality

Depending on exactly how good the signal from the transmitter is when it reaches your aerial you may need an amplifier connected between the aerial and the four way splitter. If you have a good strong signal you may not need any amplification.
If you do need an amplifier it doesn't make the job that much more complicated, and doesn't add that much to the overall cost of the job either.

Cheers for the info. What i am also concerned about is the aerial i have outside, is there a cheap device i can buy to first this the signal with the aerial i have a then go from there?
ATM i have one cable upstair in my room that i cant get any digital channels from and only some analog channels on it. Im guessing the cables need replacing?
