Tuning Analouge Channel to Digital TV

Hi,
I'm trying to tune an analouge channel into a new TV which only seems to support digital channels.
The problem is that i'm trying to transmit the signal from a virgin V+ box to another TV in another room via coax. The V+ does have a coax output but it is disabled when the main TV is connected to the HDMI input.
I have tested it an found that when the main TV is in HDMI mode the scart outputs are still active so I purchased an RF modulator. I have tested this on an old TV and it works fine but the TV thats actually in use can't tune into it.
I'm assuming that the output from the RF modulator is analouge and the TV is digital. Is this correct and is so is there anything I can do about it?

I have a lot of problems with my neighbours, they hammer and bang on the walls sometimes until 2 or 3 in the morning - some nights I can hardly hear myself drilling

im not an expert but i think this is the answer because the tuner in the telly isnt analogue and so cant compute the input its being fedI'm assuming that the output from the RF modulator is analouge and the TV is digital. Is this correct and is so is there anything I can do about it?0 -
What is the Make & Model of the TV?
All of my digital tvs have analogue receivers as well as digital.0 -
As above - are you sure the TV doesn't have an analogue tuner? Read the <> manual ;-)
If it was me though, and if it's possible, I'd rather use SCART than RF, as it's far better quality than RF, and will also get around the lack of analogue tuner if there isn't one. How far away is the second TV? I think if you spend money on a good SCART lead, you can go up to 20m.0 -
Hi, the TV is a Bush but the manual is long since lost.
I'm afraid that I can't install a scart lead due to the layout of the building :-(I have a lot of problems with my neighbours, they hammer and bang on the walls sometimes until 2 or 3 in the morning - some nights I can hardly hear myself drilling0 -
I very much doubt that a bush tv would not support analogue at all. Have you tried using the input button to see if there is the option to switch between atv and dtv, or see if the remote has an atv/dtv button?
Failing that, you may be able to find a manual online somewhere, even though I think bush are one of those phantom brands with no real website.0
