    Couldn't find anything on the ICDG Wiki.
    I have a satellite dish and a seperate rte antena.I'd like to get Satellite reception in two rooms.I have a satellite dish downstairs (FTA). The house has coax cabeling that brings the RTE single upstairs to another tv. How do I get the satellite picture up? Do I need two receivers ? I currently have a triax FTA box. Thanks in advance.

    Also, Is it possible to get RTE from an antenna into the satellite so that I don't have to change from AV to TV to view rte?

    Does the FTA Satellite Receiver have an RF out? If not get a Video Sender kit from Maplin or Argos.

    No. Even if you could how would you select RTE?

    If your AV is setup correctly, pressing TV or Standby on the Sat box turns off the SCART signal and the TV should switch to Tuner.

    Also most TVs switch to Tuner simply pressing any number on the TV remote. I can't see the problem.

    You only need two receivers if you want to watch different channels on each TV.

    I have most of my Satellite receivers feeding most of the 5 TVs by RF and on different channels (1 to 10).
