Making our V+ box transmit to 2nd TV using cable....

Morning guys

bit of help please....

Our SA v+ box has this http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2370/dsc00631hx.jpg configuration on the back

Simple question i guess.......is it as simple as plugging in a male-male aerial lead from the `antennae` port on the V+ box into the aerial socket on the back of a second TV ?

If it is , what settings do i need to alter on the v+ box etc ?

Any advice welcome

Cheers

    Both SCART and RF (the socket labelled "To TV") outputs are disabled when you use the HDMI output, so you'll have to obtain a second box or switch back to analogue if you want the signal distributed to more than one set.
    Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.

    Hi
    How do i switch my box back to analogue on the v+ box ?

    Thanks
  • If the other outputs are disabled by using the HDMI output as KillerWatt says, then to connect 2 TVs you'll have to stop using the HMDI connection and only use the analogue ones (ie scart). That is what he means by "switching back to analogue".

    Alternatively if both TVs use HDMI you could get an HDMI splitter and connect them that way.
