    You could try a wireless video sender, but you can only watch the same tv channel in both rooms.


    Or use the scart from your starview to a video recorder, then connect the cable that runs to your bedroom into the back of you RF out connection on the video, change the channel on your video to one of the AV channels. The starview channel should come in on one of your Av channels, you then need to tune the TV in the other room to this channel. Again you can only watch the same tv channel in both rooms.

    Thirdly you can get another Starview and damn the expense if you want to watch different channels in different rooms.

    I have seen a thread about an rf modulator/adapter but that is another story I will have a look for it and post back the link here.

    Have you tuned in the second set or connected the reciever via scart lead?

    In that case check that the system is working Go about this way first of all take the second set downstairs in a room near the first set; power both sets up and see what you get; If you can see both transmitter and reciever and you still get no picture there may be a fault But if it works the range may well be affected by whatever the signal has to go through.
    As I said it should work in line of sight and will prove all is well or not?

    Make sure both the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel. They normally have about 4 channels, with a little selector switch.

    I think you need to look up what hijacking a thread is, you posted the same thing in the middle of 3 other threads which other people are asking for help, this only confuses the issue.

    This thread is for helping people please end this now or I will have it closed. Multiposting makes it harder for people to help you, it also fills threads up and creates a problem for others also.

    I have answered your key query on your original thread so please stick to that one.

    Regarding the video sender - If you connect the scart cable from the starview box directly into the second tv what do you get?

    Regarding using coax cable - You should be able to use this medhod also. Were you feeding the coax cable directly from the "tv out" socket to the second tv or had you got it looped through other equipment. Had you tuned the tv to the same channel as the starview was set under "user setup" see Modulator (it should be set to Pal-I and whatever ch suits you).
