    you can get a splitter for analogue cable in Maplin, Peats etc

    there are also 4-way powered (amplified) splitters available.

    as far as I know you dont have to pay more to the cable
    provider for this.

    Hey,

    Related question. Is it possible, with analogue cable, to split the signal and send it (without wires) to another room? I know it's possible to do this if the input is Scart (i.e. with a DVD player/digibox etc), meaning that you can watch the same thing on 2 monitors, but is it possible to:

    split the incoming analogue signal into A and B
    send A via flylead to TV1
    send B via some sort of cordless system to TV2

    not with a single purchased device. if you wanted to do that you could use a suitable VCR to demodulate the RF and then transmit it as you have outlined.

    Thanks, Conax. I was thinking of that today, as it happens - but wouldn't that mean that the signal being split would be the VCR's output (i.e. the selected channel) meaning that both A and B would see the same output? Or do you have something more complex in mind?
