2nd Eurovox in other room - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

ukmatt71 · 23-05-08, 01:09 AM

I currently have a Evox in living room, works a treat.
I'm looking to purchase another one to hook up to my plasma in the conservatory (so the missus can watch her crap skymovies) why I get to watch the sport in peace in the living room.

How easy is it to connect a 2nd box(and to what)?
I've heard splitters reduce picture quality plus you have to watch same channel as the other TV (Is this right)?

Any help, grately appreciated..!

Cheers
Matt

just get another box, some cable and a splitter, signal should be fine if you use decent splitters and wire. and you can watch different channels.

Even if splitting reduces your signal, you can always boost it up.

With a 2nd EV you can certainly watch different programs on each.

A splitter will always reduce the signal strength a little,but there is usually enough signal to cope - Splitters are what The VM Installers use

Superb info: Cheers Guys.

Regarding the spare length of cable, where would I buy this from...what type is it?

Thanks
Matt

A Good TV Cable or Satellite Cable - Something like RG6.

Some Eurovox sellers will also supply this - I do

Instead of using a splitter, could ukmatt71 'loop out' from the existing EV?

That's what i'm doing, looping out to another box from my EV.
Everthing seems ok but I was wondering if the loop out is better, worse, or no different to using a splitter.
Also does anybody know if tv signal boosters work with cable?

Answering part of your question ...yes tv signal boosters do work with cable ....

I'm using a splitter and I can't notice any picture loss but I do get a good signal
