STB signal to more than 1 TV?

[jonboy080269]

Hi,

I have a stb downstairs in my front room and often I like to
watch the TV upstairs in my bedroom.

I acompilish this by using one of those one for all video devices
which sends the signal to a receiver upstairs attached to
my bedroom TV.

The problem with this, is that everytime I want to watch the
TV upstairs I have to mess arround with cables at the back
of my TV (change the scart cable which goes from my Stb to
my tv, to a scart cable which goes to my Tv sender device).

This is a pain for me to keep doing this, does anyone know
of a way I can send the output to 2 devices at the same
time I have purchased a cable from maplins but it does not work.

Or do I just need some sort of switching box which allows me
to alternate outputs without me having to unplug any
cables.

NB Renting an additional stb is not an option.

Many thanks in Advance.

i would have thought that you would be able to make this work using a scart switcher

I do this but simply by running the co-axial arial out up to my bedroom, leaving the SCART connected to my main TV downstairs. If the co-axial does get a slight loss of signal quality I don't notice it viewed on the little portable.

The only problem I had was switching channels, as a standard remote control transmitter didn't work withe the PACE STB signals. Endind up with something I think called a Red Eye. Can look that up later when I get home if needed.

Didn't the sender have a through connection?

I'm surprised that a splitter didn't work - which Maplin item was it?



As for hooking up the remote, two ways - either use an AEI DigiEye Irda extender, to run the IRDA remote, or use the Redeye device to translate from another remote (the REDEYE operates between the rremote repeater and the STB - aim the sensors and emitters accordingly!)

A simple scart breakout should do the trick.
