im getting the ntl package on friday- broadband, telephone and tv. ntl want £10pm extra for a 2nd tv box if you want 2 tv's hooked up. is it not possible to run the signal from the ntl box through a splitter and feed it to 2 tv's that way (i appreciate this might mean you can only watch the same thing on both- but would suit my needs)

anyone know?

Tiggs

ps- cant wait for b/band because this thing is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

Tiggs

Certainly is possible you dont even need to split the signal just use the scart out to main tv and run the uhf where ever it needs to go, like you say though can only watch one cable channel at a time.

Si,

sorry to be dim but... run the scart from where- i assume the ntl box to tv link is a cable? where does the scart go?

and whats a uhf and where does this go- laymans terms please!!

turning the tv on is almost beyond me

tiggs

 

okay sorry

UHF is the cable your on about other names coax and this one ere

Scart lead is a lead that looks just like this
and plugs from back of cable box into vcr or tv if they accept these

Si

 

si,

errr, i must have drank more buds than i thought, despite your lovley pics im still confused- unbelivable i'm sure!

the uhf comes from the ntl box and goes into the tv "aerial" socket, right?
so where does the scart go from, i understand it goes in the back of the tv but then where to? the tv upsatirs?? i'd need a 10m scart lead (got a pic of that )

or

does the scart lead go to the ntl box?? im confused.

tiggs

it must be late

 

Tiggs,

What you have to do is :

1) plug one end of the scart lead into your NTL box and the other end into the main TV (or VCR)

2) Plug one end of the coaxial cable into the NTL and the other end into your second TV

This is what Ive done at the moment, which is a right pain in the ar$e having to run downstairs to turn the channel over. I'm sure I got a leaflet through the door tonight offering a second box for £5. Hope this helps

Mark

PS - You wont be dissapointed with your new cable modem either

 

got it!

thanks a lot

Tiggs

ps- ntl told me £10pm for 2nd box, i'll run downstairs for a tenner!

 

Cheers Mark far more understandable than anything i type
