Splitting Sky signal

castle96

Hi.
Moving to new house. Sky/TV in lounge, nothing in kitchen. Can I join the single port on this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Invision%C2%AE-Ultra-Swivel-Bracket-Mount/dp/B010G6972O/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=tv+wall+mount+200x300&qid=1605528998&s=electronics&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExNlVFSzJNSVQyN05MJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTM3MzA1M0lSMzdYMlpaQVZYOCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODg5NzE1WFdYU1E4S0pFU0hOJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

to the existing HDMI lead, then split the signal to the existing lounge TV and the new kitchen tv ? (Same channel OK)

thanks for advice

That link leads to a swivel bracket?

You can split the satellite signal at the coax it before it enters your sky box. You will, of course, need an additional sky box and viewing card in the kitchen

Or, I believe you can pay for sky multi-room (maybe you have that already?)

why do I need to split signal before box/need additional boxes. I want to split the signal just before it enters 2 x TVs

HDMI is copy protected and Sky don't permit that it won't work. They want you to pay for multi-room

I don't know if your Sky box has analogue-out - this might look like three phono sockets (black/red and yellow on the back).

If it does, and your kitchen TV has analogue in (on the 'source' is might be called Ext) then this would work if you buy the cable

Some of the splitters actually remove the HDCP (copy protection) and work fine with a Sky HD box.   I bought the below back in 2017 and it still works fine :

Looking at the most recent review they still work.

If sky HD box then a sky I/o adapter connected to the I/o output ( modern box ) or old fashioned magic eye adapter connected to rf2 output . Then aerial co ax cable to kitchen TV

If sky q then you need an additional multi room box .

You cannot split a sky aerial cable feed , it needs separate feeds to the lnb on the dish , each box needs a dedicated feed , sky plus needs the twin cables

Have Sky+HD box.. No b/r/y. Got pink yellow red.
What about these magic eye things, would they work. Just bought new TV. Other one is smart/6 yrs old

This is what I am referring to when I talk about a satellite signal splitter - you will, of course, need two (one for each feed).

Yes, you can get HDMI splitters that remove the copy protection but the one the OP is asking about does not do this. The clue is in the big red sentence on the listing!

Check the user manual - it is likely that pink/red are audio (it normally is white/red but hey-ho), and yellow is likely to be composite video. If your TV supports these inputs you will be good to go. You also can get a scart adapter that you can feed if your TV has scart. Someone else on here who has a sky hd+ box may be able to help.

Ah yes sorry - see the red now. Cannot get to/reroute an additional cable/splitter BEFORE the box, it is tucked away up in the loft/difficult to run additional cable. Have to do it from lounge/before TV in lounge. Peter 999.2's solution seems best - hopefully
