jackso11 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Does anyone know if this will work. TV aerial on the roof, coaxil goes intot the loft and then splits 2 ways. Aerial socket in the living room and in the bedroom where the cables end up. One in the living room connects to the sky box and the one in the bedroom goes straight to TV. What I want to know is could I put a 2 plug adater on the socket in the living room, then plug a cable from the RF out of the Sky box to it, and then would that send the sky tv channel currently being viewed to the other tv as an extra channel? Then get a box to allow the remote to be used in the bedroom to change the channel when nobody is in the living room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Just get one of these and avoid the faffing about! http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q=tv+sender&show=dd&scoring=r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 they look pretty good, but then there is another box sitting on the shelf. I want to wall mount the tv too so less boxes the better. Just a thought, does the sky box actually need a coaxil cable going into it from the TV aerial or does it just use the satalite? if it doesn't I can just plug the rf out straight into the socket in the wall and it will go to the bedroom...right?

No, the sky box will work fine without the terrestrial feed, so long as it has the dish feed connected. If you go into the service set up for RF settings, activate the DC supply on RF2 output and then you can use a small i/r "magi eye" available for thruppence at the tv end to change channel, but you must activate the dc feed on rf2 first. It will work how you describe, assuming the split is a passive split and not an active one. A seperate cable run would be best though. here you are: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Triax-Compact-Sky-Magic-Eye-Link-Small-UK-Seller-/190307522114?pt=UK_ConEle_SatCableFreeview_RL&hash=item2c4f365642#ht_1877wt_962 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
