Does anyone know, if I connect a second TV, in another room to the RF output on the back of the virgin box, would it be possible to tune/ watch the terrestrial channels on the second TV as well as the virgin channels? The reason being is that I don't want to tie both TV's to the same channel. I want to watch BBC1 in one room while the wife watches discovery turbo in the other room. ( she has a thing about Ed China ):D Cheers for any help or advice on connecting. By the way we don't have a roof aerial connected to either room.

so you want free multiroom lol, if anyone can do it with sky ,im all ears lol

In short NO!

You would need a roof mounted ariel, otherwise all you've got is one decoder that will only do one channel at a time, sorry.

The same goes for Sky, one decoder, one channel! But with Sky you can install a second decoder (Sky Box) and watch different FreeSat channels.

With a roof mounted ariel you will get a pass-through signal so that you can watch One to Five

HTH

 

Dave

so to get multi room i would have to pay?????, boooooooo!!!!!!

Yep, that's correct! Well it is unless you just want the FreeSat channels, of which there are quite a few now (Channel list available >>http://www.freesatfromsky.co.uk/freesat-tv-choice.aspx), on the second box!

 

Contrary to anything people claim on the internet, there are NO ways, currently, to get hold of Sky packages for FREE, especially now that they are bringing out another new SkyCard!

Thanks Daves Zed, so if I install a roof top aerial and plug it into the RF inlet of Virgin box and connect the second TV into the RF outlet of the Virgin box, will I be able to watch BBC, ITV,ect on channels 1 to 4 of the second TV and use say channel 6 for watching whatever is on Virgin? Hope that all makes sense. Cheers.

Yes bud, that is correct :D

And if you're in a digital area you could still use a Freeview box on the second set as well and get all the extra channels

Many thanks for your help, Cheers.
