No. Connect nothing to UHF2 on the loftbox, and it distributes nothing. It
sends to all
the "TV" outputs exactly what you give it on UHF2.

No, as above. Actually, I can't confirm about the FM stuff, but I don't
believe so.

Yes. The "Living room" output is just the loftbox way of
multiplexing things for you with
the LNB output so you can then have some other equipment (wall plate plus
sky box) take
out the LNB signal and *add in* the sky signal.

This relies on the sky box being fed the analogue signal as well so that
its RF1/RF2
contains both sky and analogue stuff.
