| 748885 | 2009-02-18 02:31:00 | Can I send two TV outputs INTO a splitter, then out as one input?? The plan is I have a sky box and freeview box. I want to join the TV outputs from each box into a splitter, then send them to the remote TV on one cable. They seem to operate on two separate channels, so I reckon that I would get Sky on one channel and Freeview on the other , on the remote box. Any ideas?? Cheers folks. |

Cheers folks. yes thats fine. only thing to watch is eg the freeveiw box must only output freeveiw only. so no other channels via aerial. you do not want to join 2 sets of the same channels ie two lots of normall aerial signals. sky is usually channel 38 output, set the freeveiw to 36 or 40. as long as there is a chanell inbetween the two. |

| 748888 | 2009-02-18 07:50:00 | Sky decoders have an RF in and an RF out. Feed the RF out from the freeview box into the RF in (usually marked 'aerial') of the Sky decoder and then you have the combined RF signals of the two on the RF out of the Sky decoder (usually marked 'to tv'). No splitter needed. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||

No splitter needed. thats often fine except that some decoders output signal is so high that it overloads the decoder/receiver its pluged into. it makes the pic look like its low in signal and sometimes will cause decoders to generate unwanted signals and interfere with all sorts of gear withen a couple of km's of the house. |

| 748892 | 2009-02-19 20:34:00 | known problem with some sky decoders. output is set to high. as you probably know when you go over 70db into a video/tv you start risking overloading problems. some of the sky decoders where outputting +80db. thats generally why they are connected to the AV's where ever possible. weirdest fault i had was a video with its rf lead plugged in a loop from output to input. it wiped out tv reception for a couple of streets ! |
