I Have Sky in my living room and in the bedroom via tv link.
Is it possible to connect Sky to a portable I have in the kitchen (For the wife while she's cooking my supper!!!) ;)
If it is possible, couly you please explain as if talking to a very stupid three yr old. Thx:thumbs:



If you use a video sender it is, as long as the portable has AV inputs or a scart socket.
Get one for £50.00 at www.maplin.co.uk



use the rf out in the sky box, its there for that purpose. Just run a cable from that to the back of the tv,



Cheers Guys. Disney could you please expand, what type of cable, connectors?



I assume you are already using the second RF out to connect to the TV in the bedroom and you want to know how to connect up a 3rd TV?
The easiest method if you can run a coax from the digibox to the kitchen is to get an RF splitter but this can lead to a loss in signal quality.



Back of digi box u have 2 rf's
Rf out 1 which i assume u already using
and rf out 2, which if u use normal coaxial cable will work,

He says he's already connected to a TV upstairs via TV link which IIRC using the second RF out.



but is it connected to the main TV using scart or rf?



THanks for all the help advice.
Connected to the main tv via scart. (this much I know)



you should have one rf out spare then, you can use that for the kitchen (you may need to enable it in the engineers menu).



The best way is probably to get a second TV-Link eye (about 6 quid) and a 4 way TV-Link capable booster/splitter (about 20 quid). If the coax cables just go to and from the lounge, then locate this booster near the Sky box, otherwise put it in the loft if the coax is in-wall. The TV-Links can then be used in either room to change channel etc, etc. I would suggest www.grandata.co.uk as a cheap and reliable supplier of TV-Link/SLx stuff.



Just picked up a tv-link and have a quick question, in the intructions it states that the cable needs to go direct from the back of the box to the tv.
I was planning on feeding the RF out into the aerial wall plate in the lounge and then feeding this from the loft into the bedroom as the cabling is already in place. Would the tv-link still work ok?
Note: there's no aerial on this cable at the moment and probably won't ever be, but would it affect things in any way if we added an aerial later?



It doesn't have to be direct. I have a fly lead from the box to a plate in the lounge, another in the loft from the distribution to the other plate in the bedroom and then a fly-lead in the bedroom. The only thing you have to make sure is that all connections are well made as you might loose the 9V 'remote' signal if they are in anyway 'iffy'.



Thanks Just, been looking around a bit and found that the plate(s) need to be non-isolated for the remote signal to work. Haven't got a clue whether they are or not so I'll just give it a go and see what happens.
