Aerial/Sky setup

Hi,
Hope someone can help end my confusion here.

We have 3 TV's-1 in each of lounge, 2xbedrooms.

Lounge TV (Digital ready) receives Freeview, Sky (Digibox) and general TV stations through an aerial.

Bedroom 1 has old TV (not Digital ready) receiving General TV through aerial and Sky TV through Digibox in lounge. One cable going to this TV.

Bedroom 2 has HD ready LCD TV receiving General TV through aerial and Sky TV through Digibox in lounge. One cable going to this TV.

What I don't understand is what will the 2 bedroom TV's pick up later in the year when our Digital Switchover comes.

Bedroom 1-will I need a new TV or Freeview box in order to get general TV? Will it still get Sky?

Bedroom 2-Same question.

Sorry if this is a bit of a long question but all this is really confusing me and I don't want to spend any money until I understand it.

Cheers guys

Re: Aerial/Sky setup

All they will get is what the Sky box is tuned to unless you stick Freeview boxes on them

If you do, then they will work exactly the same as lounge TV
