I have my dvd player connected to my tv via a scart lead, therefore i can only receive a signal on that tv, is there anyway of getting the signal from the dvd player to other tvs via a coax.
anyone help?

many thanks

you could do what i've done, take your scart to the back of your video, connect your videos 'rf out' to a 4 way splitter (i got mine from focus diy for £8) and take the coaxials from the splitter to whichever tvs you want, just put your vcr on av channel to transmit the dvd signal, you shouldn't get any macrovision distortion this only kicks in thru most vcrs when you press record, thr bonus is if you've got sky going into your vcr you get that around the house too. good luck.:tup:

One easy way I use to get sky into every room in my house..

Sky decoder is connx to Video. TV is connx to video by CoAxial cable.

Feed the CoAx from the video into the MAIN ariel socket, and effectively, you are broadcasting the signal through the wire, and into your Ariel... (Here I am assuming you have a big arial on your roof, and this feeds all the rooms in your house..)

The TV where the sky disk was plugged in is now un-useable as the picture will be crap, but you can watch films on sky in all the rooms, or as you want, the DVD in all rooms..

Hope I helped..

GBT/SEP thanks to the pair of you, I have tried the first suggestion, got picture to other tvs, but no sound, my video times out after 4 mins if it is not in use, so the picture is lost, i shall keep working on it.
Once again thanks
