Hi. I'd greatly appreciate any help / advice anybody could give me on the following issue.
I previously had a Force 516S which was able to be connected to 2 TV's in the house to allow us to watch French channels via the Bis package at 5 W on either TV.
Due to the 516 getting a bit unreliable and not being HD, we recently purchased an Icecrypt S4000 from a well known UK supplier. I thought that this would be more than enough for our needs given that it seems to be at the cutting edge of the market.
I have had it professionally installed but try as he might, the installer cannot figure out a way to get the output to connect to the two TV's hence we cannot get the French channels on the second TV, just the main one. He has said that there is no co axial output on the receiver ( which to be honest doesn't mean a lot to me ! ) and has contacted the Icecrypt tech helpdesk. Their only suggestion was to get a set of leads approx 10m long that have the white / red / yellow connectors at both ends ( sorry don't know the correct name for them ! ) to connect to the two TV's to each other, thus transmitting the French channels to the second TV.
The cabling is already in place to connect the receiver to the secondary TV but doing it the way they've suggested seems like a hell of a lot of work for something that I would have thought should be relatively simple. I would have thought that when such a new receiver was designed somebody would have taken it into consideration that 2 Tv's may be connected to the receiver !!
Main TV is a Samsung UE46D5520
Second TV is LG 21 inch wall mounted ( sorry dont have the main details but it's about 1y old ) approx 10m between the two TV's
Receiver Icecrypt S4000HD
DVD player LG DVD HD
Many thanks if anybody out there can figure out an easy way to sort this problem out for me.
