hello tv boffins,

i have virgin media cable, into the big tv downstairs, im thinking of getting a smaller plasma for the bedroom to put on the wall.

i dont want another ariel on the house, and i dont want a cable box upstairs,

how can i do it? can i split the signal coming out of the box into the telly, and whats the cheapest way to do it.
thanks.

Ant

just buy a 2 way amplifier and split the cable from the output of the virgin box.

Jobs a good' un

the signal leaves the cable box in ascart lead to the telly

Ant

no there should be a RF out on the virgin box you split the out put of that

Remember, she will be able to check what you are watching, late on, when you are downstairs and she has gone to bed.......

Could use a wireless video sender if you don't want to run cables all over the show. Some can even send the remote signals back to the digibox so you can control it from upstairs.

I'm sure the settings on my box, asks you to select the TV output. So either Scart or RF. Didn't think you could have both.
But if someones already done it maybe I'm wrong. My box is Samsung 2110c

no all boxes should have a loop through so it can connect to recording equipemt or freeview recorders.

i find the wireless senders 9/10 shockingly poor
