hi m8,
you dont say where the boxes are located.
your plus box should have two rf outputs.one spare to send to an amplifier for distrubution.
if you want really good results you should get an amplifier that has one output for each room,ie 6 outputs.fed this from the sky box.feed the terrestial signal to your vantage,then from vantage to the sky plus box.
use menu on your tv to scan through and find unused spce in the uhf band, to choose frequencies for your modulatos to be set on.
you could scart the connection between vantage and sky boxes,for even better results but they would need to be close together.
each room should now recieve all terrestial,sky and the rf from your vantage.
cheers
