Whoa.......... Why's it done that ?

[j..m]

Got Sky Pace 2200 It feeds the main telly down stairs & RF2 goes off upstairs thro a 2 way splitter amp thingi (With dc path) to two more tv's with sky mice

Recently got a new cabinet to house all the poo under the main telly & the remote wouldn't go thro the doors ...... So I linked in a third mouse to RF2 ....... Buuuuuut no more TV signal upstairs & the lights have gone out on the two mice up there

What ya recon ? ....... I thought ya could have up to four mice on RF2 ..... Or am I sadly mistaken ? O-no

(Just checked & its plugged in the right way round too)

You'll need to take a lead from the distribution amplifier upstairs back downstairs just to feed the remote eye.

Hope your amplifier has spare outputs!

The mouse/TV Link eye has a voltage blocker on it, so nothing is then going to the amp upstairs. Use a 2 way amp in the cabinet, one output to feed the mouse and the other to feed the amp in the loft, you will probably need to use an amp adder in between, this attenuates the signal so that it doesn't overdrive the second amp.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Fliiiiiiiip 2

Its gotta be cheaper to drill a ole thro the cabinet ;)

Oki so another splitter fingi & a amp adder wiv Tx .......

Can I add amps a bit further up line? (Before the 2nd splitter) Just trying to cut down on lounge spaghetti

The other option is to use a remote extender. _http://www.letsautomate.com/10092.cfm?

Umm....... Looks kinda Blech tho dunnit

Ok I'm being fussy now ;)

It doesn't have to be too obvious, as it will catch a reflected signal from the wall.

Just a minor issue ..... How comes they give a warning about LCD/Plasma Tv's ?

Or run another aerial lead from the amp upstairs back downstairs!

Thats a tad excessive dude

Anyways I gots no spare outputs
