Can I link two tvs up to the same aerial cable and sky cable?

Options
I have a chipboard partition wall between my living room and kitchen breakfast room.

I am hoping to put in a tv in my kitchen against the wall that partitions the living room where the main tv backs on.

It is possible to drill a hole through the partition wall to feed through a cable. So my question is would it be possible to link it up to the existing tv aerial and if possible the sky cable too?

Is there such a cable tool to link to two tvs. I'm not necessarily looking to watch both tvs at the same time, but would like to be able to switch on either tv without having to feed cables through to the back of tvs.

If anyone could help I would be very grateful

Thanks

    You could use "the magic eye" here on ebay, or you can find them in electrical stores, Tescos etc. Can only watch same channel on both tv's though. I have one & they work fine.

    We have 3 TV's running off the 1 ariel (living room,kitchen and bedroom) just by using the Y connector which comes out the back of my living room tv, you can use all tv's the same time but picture suffers a touch.

    Hope this helps.

    Feed your aerial lead into the RF In socket of your Sky box. Run another from the RF Out of the Sky box into your video RF In (if you use one) Run another from the Video RF Out to an amplifier input. Then feed each TV from the 2 outputs of the amplifier.

    This picture will show you the type of amplifier you need but you can get them cheaper at around £8. Currys or Dixons/PCWorld.

    This way you can run both TVs with no degradation of the picture and you can tune your kitchen TV for Sky and your Video.
