Default no RF frequency on V+hd box

I'm not getting a RF frequency on my V+hd box. I've accessed the engineers menu and noticed the frequency was on 52, I've changed it to 48(same as eurovox) but no luck.
Its only for a feed to a TV upstairs can anyone help me because another night of having to talk to my wife in bed is going to kill me.

PS I did phone Virgin about this but they did not have a clue what I was going on about.

virgin hd boxs the rf from the box dont work
not sure about the scart socket try it
if scart socket works get a video player or some thing similar
and take a scart lead from virgin box to scart input of the video
put the video on to external imput run a lead from the rf socket on the video to the tv upstairs and tune the tv to the video

Thanks but a video player! It's 2010 man. Maybe an AV sender would be more appropriate.
How reliable is your info.

Default Re: no RF frequency on V+hd box

hello, try the RF frequency on 36 , i have a cctv camera working clear on that frequency, also i have a virgin box on 32 going to another room and also you might try 24, in my experience once you hit 40 the picture goes to pot on the RF signal but after saying that i was useing a telewest box for about 3 years on the frequency 69 and for some reason it went to pot on 69, also i am sending the signal through an aerial booster out of the box "32" into a VCR "for the camera on 36" then into the booster out the house and over the roof, if you are not sending the signal a long way you might get away without buying a booster , i have just remembered i once had a freeview box working ok upstairs through a video recorder on frequency 57, if you have 2 or more things on RF you have to make sure the frequency's do not match because they will clash and you will not get a picture, i hope this info helps you, good luck

hello, i think on the v+ box if the settings are set to HDMI there is no RF output but if you change them to normal 4.3 ect, i think then the RF output will then work ok, a bit of trial and error, again good luck
