[QUOTE="spiney, post: 149552, member: 192438"] tv signals around the house ..... there's (usually!) 2 main ways: 1) Videosenders. These take only SCART in/out - so you can't use the tv or video aerial socket - and re-send the SCART (cbvs pin) picture on 2.4 Ghz, range maybe 50-70m. Can be subject to local radio interference. Many have remote control signals passback, via a tiny diode you put over the infra red detect window on (whatever equipment), so you can still use the remote. Expensive, mostly only sold in transmitter/receiver pairs. Some expensive ones allow several receivers, bought separately. For types/prices, Google "videosender". 2) coaxial distribution, via tv/video aerial sockets, for which use satellite grade cable (gives much better protection from outside interference). This method also allows remote control signals passback. Originally for Sky satellite receivers only, but can now be used on almost any tv equipment, using the "tv link plus" system. For several remote tv sets, this is easier than videosenders - it uses distribution amplifiers - but you do have to put in the cables. (see [URL="http://www.tvlink.co.uk"]www.tvlink.co.uk[/URL] - look at "amplifiers", "link plus"). tv link equipment is made by Global, SLX do a similar compatible range of stuff (sold in Maplin). If you don't have a Sky receiver, there's a complete non-Sky kit available from [URL="http://www.grandata.co.uk"]www.grandata.co.uk[/URL] (go catalogue, audio video accessories, 1st item that page). There are other - some far more complicated! - possibilities, see: [URL="http://www.dtg.org.uk/publications/books/home_distribution_v1-1.pdf"]www.dtg.org.uk/publications/books/home_distribution_v1-1.pdf[/URL] .
