Question re freeview

C_Ronaldo

We currently have freeview downstairs can you buy a splitter i guess to transmit the freeview to a 2nd tv,

You can buy a multiway TV amplifier, I have my TV signal sent all over the house, Freeview is on all TV's on channel 6.

{edit}
Here are a few examples -
Argos - Aerial Booster

I have something like this with 6 ports

This will only work if your existing Freeview box has a built-in modulator. Most just pass the signal from the aerial through to the 'output' socket and the Freeview channels are only available from the Scart socket.

If I were you I would buy a second Freeview box. That will also let you watch different Freeview channels on the second TV.

woo

I'd go with the second freeview box as they are so well priced at the moment.

I assumed they all passed the aerial signal through :eek:

trouble with the second box is he would still need a decent aerial signal for the second box.

They pass the signal from the aerial through but the cheap (under £50) Freeview boxes don't have a modulator and therefore cannot pass a Freeview signal through the aerial.

Thanks, I'll have to look out for that when I replace ours :beer:

A couple of months ago I got a splitter from B&Q for about £5. Plugged the aerial into the splitter then 2 coaxial leads from splitter, one to TV and one to media centre PC. Result was Freeview on both.

True.

Sorry, missed the point about you wanting to be wireless.
