Pioneer Plasma (427XD) won't let me have 2 signals !

Hi All
I have a Pioneer 427XD - quite old I know but have been using it for digital freeview.
I now have my sky picture routed around my house using the Co-axial cable but in my pioneer menu, it seems that I can only tune into DTV (and sacrifice Analogue) or Analogue and then lose Freeview.
Any ideas how I can have both !!

Isn't this the same as when watching BBC1, you aren't watching BBC2? How can you watch two different sources at the same time?
Many thanks for your help.
There was a button to switch between the two - and now I've seen that there are 2 aerial inputs - 1 for Digital, and 1 for Analogue - so will be getting my hands on a splitter now.
you don't need a splitter as the only analogue signal is from the Sky box.
Leave your existing aerial connection in the Digital input socket and plug the Sky co-ax in the Analogue socket
A sky distribution system combines analogue and digital onto the same cable from rf2 out. The OP will lost likely have one cable (normally labelled return) carrying both, most likely via a magic eye so he will need a splitter after any Magic Eye.
So all you should need is a short coax lead between the aerial out and the analogue in sockets. Plug the feed from the Sky box into the digital in socket.

chrisjr - this is exactly what I needed to do - picture is back and good quality and all set up fine.
Thanks again !
Yes, it's rare (in the UK) not to have the loop through.
More common in Spain not to, where digital and analogue often came from totally different directions and separate aerials were required.
