RE: Sky+

Yes CT100 is perfectly good and is what the installers use anyway. You
could go to CT125 but it's overkill, more expensive and much more
'stiffer' making it more difficult to install and route. I know - I've
got 4 runs of CT100 for the Sky dish and 2 runs of CT125 for the BT
satellite BB - all of which run up through several walls, through the
loft and down to Node0.

Would Ct100 do the job? I ask because I have 2 lengths running to the
front
room.

So it records from the second channel? and sends the first channel out
the
scart to whatever? can you then set the TiVo to record one channel (1)
while
Sky + records (2). I must admit my live TV usage has decreased since
getting
the TiVo, although Current events are making sure that plenty of live
news
is being watched.
