Hi Brian, you seem to be the expert. I am sorry to repeat this and hope it dont cause probs but I have a replay lite and my old system, with sky or ntl was split between diff rooms as so.... box >>> aerial out to tv booster splitter >> aerial out to various rooms. Now this worked with both ntl and sky and i could watch what was transmitted on their boxes in digital but the aerial out of the replay lite dont work the same - you can get the freeview but not the other channels. Have channel 6 tuned into C65 for Cable or C68 for Sky but cannot find the replay one anywhere - I have discovered it will work through a video - but you have to have the video on and watch through that and the pic aint as good. No probs direct to one tv with a scart. Dont suppose there is a way, but just checking, as slightly annoying as dont want a box for every room!! Thanks for reading.

Hi tizler,
Welcome to the forum,
I have one of mine set up through the video, just like you have discovered, I also have another one set up with a Wireless video sender. This comes in a kit of video sender and receiver.Theres a double scart connection with it, this sends the signal to TV 1 and the signal is transmitted to the receiver which is connected to TV 2.
It works very well and is available in maplins, peats, argos or any good electricial store. I have looked in maplins and argos catalogues and Maplins have one for ?99 which looks OK.
It's a pity the don't do really long scart leads, that way you could go scart from the box to the two-scart splitter and then out to 2 TV's. OR do this and buy a few two-scart splitters and keep on joining them up via long scart leads to your spare TV.
Hope this helps you tizler.
You seem to have a good knowledge of the operating systems.

Thanks so much for your reply!
Yep - have my system set up like this for ages. But the rf out usually provides the output to the other tvs. Shame it dont really work with this box and yes, have thought about the wireless option, but hey, at £99 - might as well get another box!! lol I do know that by connecting the N*L lead to the booster/splitter works, and could have a box in each room, but didnt want to go to so much expense for the odd time that i need to view there. Prob with my current video is, if its not recording or playing, it auto switches off after 15 mins lol So- at a guess, can just record all the time, when the out put is needed. Might have to go down that route then. Didnt know whether to go for a starview pvr - cos will eventually have another box. Been told the rf out works, BUT - til I have it here to test, who knows. Would be interesting to see if this can be overcome or whether they are made not to use in this country - seems daft it being there and not being able to use - or is it just the software installed only allows output via the scart, but that seems odd. Hope I havent totally confused you lol - confused myself. One thing with me, wont rest til I solve it - am stubborn ;)

Hi tizler,
I don't think the starview rf out will solve your problem.
I have seen this question before, click on the link below.
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/551752
I have been doing some experiminting and your normal way of using the splitter works on my flat screen TV.
Not sure if this is because it's digital or has a wider scanning frequency, but it works fine.
Click on the link above, it will give your more info and there are two other useful links to some very good funnies I have posted.
Hope this helps you tizler.

Thanks Brian, let me read that link. How did you get it to work then? What frequency did you use to tune it in?? either the C number or the mhz - i go through all mine and nothing. I was wondering about a setting on the box, the RGB or the other (forgot what its called til i look) - do i need to change that? I have it as RGB at the minute and must admit, dont know what to do lol. I have a plasma tv and it dont work as normal, so wonder how you got it to work. Info please and again, I REALLY APPRECIATE your time in this. Off I go to read that link you posted ;) Just read that and yea, thats the way i thought anyway - except for my video auto switching off lol - so only way round that is have a tape in and press record, so its recording and so stays switched on. Might try it, but messing with all the cables is doing my head in at the minute lol - but may be the only option, unless you have a diff way - well the way its working for me at the minute. I heard about this "loop" thing with the rf out, but not sure what that means - but we are getting somewhere here - which is good - such fun finding things out - I love it !!!

Wow again tizler,
Your findings will be very useful to a lot people on this forum.
I just went through the mal##ns book and they had nothing to compare at those prices. One of your kits hooked up to a good splitter amplifer should be the bees knees.
I will be getting one of them myself.
You will be a great asset to this forum.
Cheers and thanks.

The only downside i see is that it doesnt have a scart out too, which i would prefer, cos the pic on my main tv is best with a scart, but could do through video recorder i suppose. Could work.
Which one do i buy - and do i bother lol
did u tune in a channel when you tried my method Brian? or did you just view through video channel, as in other thread?
would be interested on how you did it
O and the RGB thingy didnt work, cos changed the setting on the replay lite and still nothing.
Experiment goes on

Hi tizler,
I will be buying the first modulator.
I will put scart out of your replay lite to a two/way splitter scart,
from there 1 scart to your main TV and the other scart to the modulator.
Then a rf cable from the modulator to a normal splitter and send it to your other TV or more, depending on the normal splitter you have, 2 way,3way,4way.
I can't check that other TV as it's not working at the moment.
lightning took it out and a few of my other electrics too.
I'm looking forward to getting that modulator and trying it.
There was a very good one at the bottom of that page in the link, it's for hospitals and nursing home type places. It's not cheap.
Take care tizler

hmm
sounds interesting
but
surely with a scart splitter, you have to select which scart to use - so you cannot use them both???
let me think this through
sure that wont work, cos if you watch the tv in the lounge - u choose the scart connected to that and the other scart connected to the modulator will not work - the idea of the split is for all tvs to get a signal at the same time - the main tv in the lounge via the scart and the others via the rf out.
would it work through the video - not sure it would either, wht you need is two scart outputs, that work simultaenously from one input - not sure it exists, all i have seen are scart splitters that can only use one connection at a time

ok - looked into this and you can get scart splitters that are not selected and am guessing now that the signal, cos it would be the same thing transmitted - then there would be no interferance and it might work. There are diff ones on the market - here are a couple

gosh - this thread is getting long!! - but have made another discovery!!
The replay has RCA out - which i didnt think worked, but they do, just tested them. Thats the white/red/yellow leads, for those that do not know and you can get connectors with these one end and a scart the other.
Well the beauty of this (I am hoping) is that you use the normal scart for tv (or this one) and the RCA connectors to the modulator which then connects to the tv aerial booster/splitter
YAHAY!!
good job i thought, saves buying the scart splitter, will just get the modulator and test.
Brian, you say the top one, but what about the one furthe down, that is slightly cheaper - surely thats all you need, it says about converting an av signal to rf for older tvs - sounds good to me. Its the 4th down >> RF modulator with scart in?
Looks fav to me

Hi tizler,
I had a look at those sites, You can buy those scart splitters in most electrical shops.
On the two way scart.
All the pins are wired so it is suitable for RGB and S/VHS connections.
This device isn't switched so all of the sockets and the scart plug are connected together, so if you are using this for lots of devices such as a VCR, Digi box, DVD player then all the other devices will need to be in standby mode or switched off while you watch one of the devices, otherwise the pictures and sound will overlap. This device can be used for splitting or combining signals.
On Your TV's you would be only to watch what is on your replay lite box, you probably wouldn't be able to tune it to normal stations.
But who cares, as long as you can see what you want to see.
The modulator, on it's own should work,but at this stage can't we can't tell what the picture would be like through the rf cable till we buy one.
You seem very knowledgeable on this stuff, do you work for nhell???

Hi Tiz,
I just looked at the modulator site site again.
The fourth one down you were thinking of, dosen't have RCA connections.
http://www.threedoubleyou.com/rfmodulators.htm
The top on does and if I win a few euro on the lotto, it's the bottom one for me, it would look good in my new mansion by the pool in the pool room.

Good point Brian!! Of course, after my recent discovery, the RCA connectors are the way to go - silly me
Looks like we both will be going for the top one and the very last when we win the lotto - share if either of us win? Wonder if my hubby has checked our numbers yet - let me see - if we win, i buy you the last one too - the mansion, well thats down to you lol
o Just seen and realised - only need RCA leads one end, for the replay box and scart is at the other end, so it would be ok - but wonder about the frequencys they mention - whether the dearer one is better - decisions

Hi tizler,
I think I will give ebay a miss, I would rather buy off a more reliable source.
I have to go off to the beach now, the three little monsters want to go. Sally 12, Colleen 11 and little Georgie 18 months, he gets so excited when he know he's going out. Just watch start of Grand Prix first, then tape it and back for Spurs V United. Come on the Spurs.
Enjoy the afternoon, I'm off now.

Hi pfogo,
Delighted you got the box replaced.
My transformer is the same, I think they all are, I unplug mine at night to let it cool down and have not had any problems with it or the box. They got wacked by lightning a while ago and I had to replace them, just brought the dead lead into maplins and they hooked me up with new ones.
This is a good forum to learn about the boxes, I have learnt a lot from people on this forum who have helped me in the past.
They are a great bunch here, very helpful.
Happy Viewing

Hi tizler,
Yes a boring first hour, I was dissapointed spurs played that way, defensive.
To be honest I didn't think it was a peno, but I did think the ref was a bit of a homer.
Poor Lewis Hamilton, a bit of bad luck today but on that track he wasn't going to pass the Ferrari's.
It was a bit windy on the beach,I'm knackered from running around with the little monsters.
Hope you had a good day Tizler.

The software you need is V 7.52 & you will also need the software to talk to the box. Everything you will need software wise can be downloaded from this link.
