    IF its a digital box its output is on uhf only ,if you have it connected properly at the back there' s no reason why you should 'nt get it on the portable if its analouge it could be on vhf or uhf:cool:

    The box is looping thru analogue to your portable. Hence utv sky1 Rte etc. Same as if you just had the portable hooked up to the cable point in your kitchen. In this case you are getting the signal from your livingroom cable point via the stb and then on to your portable.

    As for the digital channels you can only watch the digital channel that the stb is on ie whats showing on your main tv. You cannot store the digital channels on your portable in the kitchen. (I maybe misunderstanding your last post and you already know this) You tune the kitchen tv into the uhf frequency the stb is broadcasting on and you will see whatever digital channel the stb is set to at that time. Best thing to do is bring up the stb menu and that way when you are trying to tune in the actual digital box on your portable you will know for sure when you find it.

    Hi....


    I put the box on the Guide and ran the lead direct from the STB to the portable TV but cannot pick up what is on the box i.e the Guide on the portable. Did a search through VH1, VH3, and UHF......

    Any further advise please....

    I would imagine that the STB does not pass the digital channels through the RF output, just the analogue ones. If this is the case, you will have to put a direct video link to your portable using audio/video cables. Or you could get one of those wireless video senders. Saves on a cable run.
