Not wishing to be too harsh, but these solutions are all quite complex. My way (which is far simpler) is as follows:

Get a standard UHF aerial lead and plug it from the RF output of the STB to the socket on the wall where your old terrestrial TV used to come from. (Most people still have these)

Plug the TV in the room you want to watch into the socket on the wall (again, normal UHF aerial lead).

Go into the loft and find where the two aerial leads (i.e. the one from the STB in the lounge and the one from the second TV) come out and join 'em up. No amp needed, no fancy splitters, just a cheap 'n' simple aerial connector. Job's a good 'un!

Ok, so you can't watch cable on more than one TV around the house, you can't change channels and you can't watch more than one channel at once, but it works and it's simple. I use it for watching TV in the kitchen while I'm cooking and it works well. Good enough quality for a 15" LCD TV and simple to do (it took me 20 minutes).
