feed -> converter -> coax -> loft -> new room coax -> new room outlet -> converter -> V+

Would that work, then I just need 2 cheapo ftype converters.

Thanks for the welcome too

oh, the problems with leaving the v+ in the original room is..

a) having to watch over UHF
b) having to change channels by some remote extender, which i'd need to buy
What ever you do there has to be some small rules or it will not work.

It has to be good cable and connectors "cheapo does not work well"

The connectors need to be made up correctly.

Every new connection and length of cable will reduce the amount of signal, which could mean you will have picture breakup.

If you get it wrong you can end up in a whole barrel of poo with signal reflections and noise ingress.

I would talk to VM about it if i was you. You never know there might not be a problem with them doing the work.

VM could if they discover that your extensions are inducing noise on the network disconnect you until such time as you have let them fix the problem and for that they will charge you.
