I want to pick up Freeview from another room

I already have a Freeview box and I want to pick it up from another small TV that does not have a scart connection. Any suggestions and prices.

    A length of coax cable and a Aerial splitter http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=1626&&source=14&doy=25m10

    Does your box have a RF modulator for Freeview? That is, if you disconnect the scart can you still pick up a Freeview channel via the TV (do a channel scan)? If so, you can watch this on the other TV with the aerial split method.

    If not, you can either get a Video sender (with UHF modulator) or buy a Freeview box with UHF output to use on the other TV (assuming it doesn't have RCA inputs either).

    If the other TV has RCA inputs (yellow,red,white sockets) then another Freeview box with a SCART to RCA connector will do.

    Again if no aerial / RF output ( not just loop) but just scart out -
    you can scart into video, and then use RF off ( either split, or one FR out and one Scart out)
