| 380582 | 2005-08-12 10:49:00 | hey. I have a VCR connected to my TV at one end of our house, and a TV in a spare room on the opposite side of the house. I want to be able to watch VCR's thro the TV in the spare room. I no i could just get a cable and run it from teh VCR to teh TV, but in this day an age is there a better/easier way? Like some sort of wireless device i could use? Thanks |

| 380585 | 2005-08-12 11:13:00 | hmm, thansk guys. lol, just as i thought, i'd find what i needed, but it would be bit over my budget! nothing cheaper i guess? |

| 380586 | 2005-08-12 11:36:00 | Some coax, a few coax plugs and a splitter would be a far cheaper option. dse prices: coax $2.73/mtr splitter $9.83 f-connectors (4-pack is $9.93, you need 3) 2 male coax plugs $2.73 ea Take the RF out of your video into the in of the splitter then each of the outs to the respective tv's RF in, using the appropriate plugs and cable. |

| 380587 | 2005-08-12 11:42:00 | Sweet - looks like the way to go. While i'm at it, we have a SKY decoder in one room - with a coaxial cable running to another room. whats the best way to split this so i can get SKY in another room? |

| 380588 | 2005-08-12 11:56:00 | Same as the VCR signal. Is this a different room to your other TV that has the VCR on it? If it's the same tv, then you can put the SKY decoder through the VCR and the sky signal will run on the same cable. You would however only be able to watch what was on the other TV. That is, if a video was being played, you wouldn't be able to watch SKY. Also only one sky channel at a time too i.e. you would need another decoder to watch seperate channels on the two tv's. Another issue would be the control of the sky decoder/vcr from the TV in the other room. You would have to go to the room with the decoder / VCR in it to control the decoder / VCR. There are solutions to this (IR control), but they are quite expensive ($300-$400). |

| 380589 | 2005-08-12 12:06:00 | It will be in a different room to the VCR. And yip - i understand all the limits and the fact that you have to go to the main room to change the channel etc. But i have this cable (with SKY) going from room to room, should i split it at the end of the cable so one end goes to one TV, then run another cable from the split to the other room? lol, i'm getting confused typing this - so i hope ya'all with me! if so, what parts will i need?

| 380590 | 2005-08-13 03:27:00 | It all depends on what you use to connect your sky decoder to your tv. If the decoder is connected to your TV using RCA plugs (from a scart - RCA connection or just plain RCA - RCA) then you can use the terminal marked "RF-OUT" to connect to your other TV, no splitter needed. You would only need a couple of connectors (one male and one female I think, or maybe it's 2 males, check the connections on your decoder and your TV). However if the TV with the decoder is using the RF-OUT for signal, the you would need to have a splitter, same as the VCR setup, except the "IN" of the splitter would come from the RF-OUT of the decoder instead of the RF-OUT of the VCR. That enough info? If not, then ask away :) |
