Connecting NTL to another TV via Coaxial

tred

Folks, I i run the second scart out of my NTL box into a Video record, and then use the aerial out to run a coaxial cable to another room, do I need then to tune, in that new aerial connection to pick up the signal....that make sense?

it makes sense, but unless you have another decoder and card you will only get the basic analog channels.

Are you confusing the second SCART output with what you wrote above as the second Aerial output?

The aerial output sends the signal that came from the cable (that comes into your house) to another device (normally your tv's aerial input) so you can watch analog tv channels as well as digital using ch1, ch2, ch3 etc as opposed to EXT1 (scart input) and flicking chanels on the NTL box (with the pink <?> banner telling you what is on).

If you are using the two SCART (wide plastic rectangular) outputs to different locations then yes, you will only get whatever the ntl box is decoding and outputting.

Got it working. the biggest issue here, was it just stopped working!, so thats what threw me. I am feeding the Second scart into a Video, and from that video running a coaxial out to another TV in another room. I had to tune in the "NTL" coaxial signal into the TV and its working fine now. It means by using a device for remotley changing the channels on main ntl i can now view in another room. There is zero signal degradation using the coaxial out. Tried those wirieless senders and they just didnt work.

going to hi-jack this thread a bit.

Was doing much the same as OP. Feeding second scart into the video and sending it out through co-ax around the house.

My problem is the video was old (very very old) and has given up the ghost and has packed in. Whats the best/cheapest way to convert a scart signal into co-ax.

Do i have to buy a new video player ( i guess a dvd recorder or HDD drive would do the same) but is there a cheaper solution.

Cheers.
