Default Cabling

I have cabled my house with coaxial cable into every room. The feed was coming from my pace box RF out. This enabled me to watch whatever was on the Pace Box + all the terrestrial channels.

I've just received the new V+ HD box and there is no RF out. I only have scart and hdmi.

What is the best way to route everything out from the lounge V+ Box to the rest of the house?

Thanks

Of course thats one way bit expensive...Any way think I've found a way. I need a RF modulator which will take signal from scart and outputs it to RF. I'm sure it will also feed through free to air channels. Just need to find a cheap place for this now.

Yep, an rf modulator will work fine, I'm using one on my system as I recently upgraded to a V+HD box.

I have this one GLOBAL tvM MODULATOR

paid £30 for it.


The only downside is that I have to switch the box to SD mode for it to send anything up the SCART lead. Probably a deliberate attempt by Virgin try and make peeps go for their multi-room. As I know its technically feasible as my sat box does it oK.
