connect v+ to 2 tvs
Hi,

My previous setup was a virgin box upstairs that connected via scart to my tv and the rf output went down to the tv in the bedroom. Yes i had to watch what was on upstairs downstairs but it worked fine.

I upgraded to a samsung V+ HD box on friday and didnt realise it would have no rf output connection.

How can I have the tv working downstairs? I do not want to buy another box as the cabling is all behind the wall downstairs and it would be a mare and not look good + cost.

I do have a vcr upstairs that has a scart and an rf in and an rf out.

Could i split the rf in and attach one to the vcr with the output going downstairs and one going to the v+ box?

not a tv specialist so pls be gentle but any help appreciated!

thanks

Get a Scart to RF converter and plug it into the VCR Scart on the V+ HD box

...or simply use the VCR you already have. Plug it into the VCR SCART on V+ then use its RF out.

Don't expect great picture quality! This item is prone to rf interference.
