SKY TV in other rooms -SORTED

[Rhyso]

Right my current setup is Sky HD in my living room and then running a coax cable from the RF2 output to a bedroom upstairs where i have one of those magic eyes.

What I want to do is to send Sky into the dining room and another bedroom; all of which currently have aerial cables fed from the normal aerial in the attic via a splitter box.

Can I just replace the current aerial splitter box with one designed to split the Sky TV signal? And then have magic eyes in those rooms 

Any advice is appreciated

I'm fairly confident you can run the Sky RF2 aerial into the loft and split it, however for peace of mind I'm seriously consider a signal booster as well

I used to use RF2, I now use S-Video and a IR repeater

I've just been thinking about this myself, but with Virgin Media, however, the output is HDMI

HDMI splitter and a IR Repeater?

Will have to look into this.

Do you have any links to the products you use?

Because the 2nd room is directly above I use a 7M S-Video/RCA cable, I think the max length before you start getting degrade in signal with S-Video is 15M? so you'd need to work out how much cable length you're going to need, otherwise you're probably best running a wireless audio/video transmitter or switching to a digital cable connection? as another option would be HDMI over CAT5.

I'll try find out the cable I used, without looking its a purple one with the RCA's combined as one cable, its mid range on price/quality and is shielded with gold plated connectors, I'd recommend a shielded cable.

The IR repeater I use is this one: http://www.marmitek.com/en/product-details/audio-video-at-home/operate-anywhere/operating-outside-the-infrared-range/powermid-xs.php

Right finally got round to sorting this 

Simply ran the cable from the back of the Sky box into the attic where the current aerial splitter box resides.  Plugged it into that and hey presto, Sky TV in every room 

Bonus is that with the Sky app for the iPad / iPhone means you dont need a remote for every TV as that does the job

Best part is all we needed was a new cable to run into our bedroom which cost £5
