Lightbulb Freeview in 2 rooms.

Is it best to buy 2 freeview boxes and split the cable from the aerial or is there another way of doing it.
Its 2 rooms upstairs and there's no problem with 2 people needing to watch different programs at the same time.

Whats the quality of the transmitted picture like, the two tv's are only about 5 metres apart,adjoining rooms. Is there anything to be gained by paying more?

I have 2 freeview boxes upstairs running from one aerial with a splitter, all works fine. for the sake of a few quid, there's no point going with the digisender option really imho

i guess 2 freeview boxes will cost about £80?
1 freeview plus digisender = £65

Can you also use these if you have a dvd player upstairs and want to send the signal to a tv downstairs.Will it transmit 5.1 sound as well?
