Ok here goes. Firstly I have an wall outlet downstairs which sends a feed upstairs to a tv in the bedroom.

I need to set up the following: a dvd player, a video recorder (for now) a sky box and a nokia dbox2 (don't ask lol) to the tv and then that lot connected to the upstairs wall outlet so I can watch the same channels on the bedroom tv.

Can anyone help please?

HI

What about a video sender instead of the cable.One behind all your units and one in the bedroom should work.If not can you daisy chain your setup so the last connection is coax and use a distribution amp.

Thank you for your advice but would prefer sticking with the cable as its already there on the outside of the house. The advice I am seeking is how do I daisy chain it all? I am very much a novice at this sort of thing.

HI
Not sure about your equipment,but if you scart everything upto the VCR and make that the last in the chain in theory if you plug that into a 2way amp one should come out to the TV and one to your wall outlet,then hopefully what ever is coming through the booster should come out upstairs.If your struggling with scarts,you might get away with s video and R/L audio leads.
