Question Two TV's from the same STB

Hi,

I have a Samsung STB which feeds my broadband and the TV in my lounge.

I have a 14" portable TV in my Dining room, some 30 feet away from the STB.

Is it possible to connect two TV's to the same STB ?

My TV in the lounge has no Scart so that is connected via the CoAx out from the STB.
The TV is the Dining Room has a Scart.

Thanks for any guidence and advice.

Phil.

You won't find a SCART lead that's 30 feet long. It's perfectly possible to connect via coax over that distance though.

What you'll need is enough cable to run to the other TV (obviously) and a coax splitter. Cheap ones cost about a pound from B&Q, although more expensive ones will let you do this without losing signal.

Naturally you can only watch one cable channel at a time, but this should do what you want it to

Hi Tristan,

Thanks for the advice.

I will try that out.

One day I will get a modern TV for the lounge.

Phil.
