Sending freeview signal to another tv

DCFC79

Ive got an ariel lead which is connected to an ariel point which in turn is connected to an ariel to receive freeview, would i be right in thinking that theres a way to send the freeview signal to another tv in the house, would something like this do the job and would i need snything else to get it to work

It would, but if you or your neighbours use wireless communications equipment it's likely to cause interference.

I used one of these in my last house and it worked fine. Did not interfere with my wifi, my DECT phones or anyone elses equipment to my knowledge.

Not necessarily: if you're willing to lay a little cable you could get a powered splitter instead. Add another digital receiver or two and you're all set for the switchover.

Or theres a new box for £17.99:

Or a cheaper alternative if your signal is strong enough. The problem with the item in your original post is that both TV's would have to display the same channel.
With this and -TangleFoot-'s method you will need an additional freeview box but the TV's will then run independently of each other.

Also take into consideration that just about every 'video sender' ive ever seen send 'composite' video ~ NOT RGB (Meaning it will never look as good as connecting via decent scart cable)

laying cable isnt really an option, it would be more trouble than its worth, my tv is in the opposite corner to where the ariel point is downstairs,

Since you don't need an aerial for VM, why not relocate it to where the other TV is and add a freeview box there?
