Splitting V+/Sky+ between 2 rooms

[Jog On]

I'm at a decision point whether to stay with Virgin or get Sky for our new place.

We've had the builders run some cables (as they're rewiring the electrics anyway) between different rooms so along with Cat 6 GB ethernet (with network ports on the walls ) they've run a Sky splitter cable which they've told me I will have to attach a 'magic eye' to in order to watch sky in the bedroom.

If I want to just move Virgin media to the new place and skip having to get a dish will this cable work for Virgin as well? Or is there soemthing clever I can do with the Cat6 and HDMI?

Sticking with Virgin would be cheaper I think as I'd like to stick with their broadband so the TV package would be bundled with that. Also there is the matter of a dish if we were to get sky and the freeholders of the block of flats might have to grant permission for it by way of a solicitor....

That's the one thing I keep wishing I had done when our house was rewired.

Cable TV and Sky and indeed a normall analogue aerial will work across the same Coax cable, its usually the black stuff rather than the old fashioned brown coloured
