bsaben Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 If youve got a power supply in the loft use an slx amplified splitter, if no power then fit a mast head amp in the loft and a 12v psu behind one of the tv's. Just make sure that if youre going to amp it to keep ot below 70m/db. If you have exceptionaly high signal you may get away with an inductive splitter, but dont go below 45 m/db.

rorygall Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've got an amplified splitter in the loft. TV in all the kids rooms and two downstairs. Each able to watch whatever channels they want. Easy to install, so long as you have power nearby, and the aerial cables weren't too bad either. Straight through ceiling for each bedroom and down the outside wall for ground floor. All done in a couple of hours. Make sure you use digital cable though or too much signal loss. Get a roll for £20 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Don't even need local power! Why do you need the splitter? To add more TV's forget "digital coax" use "CAI approved" sat grade, with F type fittings the global loft box are good and simple. Do you have sky?

bsaben Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Split it once and as close to the source as possible, find the feed in the loft, split it there and take the extra drop into the new room. The only cable use is wf100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yep have sky Do you want to be able to watch sky in the other room? My suggestion is take a feed from "RF2" on reare of sky box to the loft connect http://www.globalinvacom.com/products/f140.php and run from the F140/120 to other rooms. If there is just one other room no F120/140 neede djust run from RF2 to the other room! this obviosuly requires your aerial to connect into the "aerial in" on sky box and the new single feed HD box is missing the RF connectivity but if it is a HD or plus box it has a built in splitter. The RF2 can carry low voltage power to power a small (upto 4 way dist amp) and allow control froma "magic eye" in a remote room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
