amplifier/splitter

I have a rooftop aerial that is wired to a powered splitter in the attic.

One cable goes to my computer which has a USB digital tuner and the other
goes to a wall plate in my lounge.

Reception is from the Angus transmitter, digital only, analogue switched
off.

I also have sky.

I have a new HD freeview digital TV .

Should I connect the wall plate to the sky box then the TV or connect the
TV directly to the aerial wall plate?

Or does it not matter?

At present the TV is connected directly to the wall plate and the sky box
via scart.

With digital it would only make a difference if the signal was
marginal.

And given that you have an amplifier, it is even less likely to.

Unless you can see obvious digital artefacts, do whatever is more
convenient.

Unless you want to use the RF2 output on the Skybox to feed a second set
there's no need to pass the aerial signals through the Skybox.

Presumably the Skybox is not HD, if you are using a scart lead?

SCART also carries S-Video. Which, in a set up that doesn't include a
HD TV and/or HDMI connections, is a far better compromise than the
composite video you were assuming, Bill?

No, he said "I have a new HD freeview digital TV" so that will
definitely have an HDMI socket, so that's the way he should connect his
Sky box if it's HD. If his Sky box is an old one with RGB he should be
using that, normally on AV1.
