A freeview box and some cable to run from the dish will that do
Well if your dish in the garden is pointing astra 28.2E which is the sky/freesat satellite, you will just need is a set top-box which you can but a cheap one from maplin or spend a little more on an Freesat Box with HD and you get the interactive functions on also.

As above as far as the dish is concerned but if you want to go cheaper again get an old skybox on adverts for a couple of quid will do the same job,with the addition of a magic eye set up you can route to as many rooms as you want (same channel though)
Re: Freeview sat question
Thanks for the input lads
@john the dish worked perfect when I first moved in a few years ago then upc came to the area and all of a sudden it was gone still to this dont understand how :huh:
I might do that split thing , do you know if upc uses some kind of special cable or is it just standard pipe wire
Edit:nevermind I see you say coaxial cable
