Advice please . ..

OK, I've now added Sky+ to my setup.

I had them relocate my old digibox upstairs, where I can send it around the house via a distribution box. This lets me watch footy in peace while the kids can still keep their stuff on.

What I'm after, is a method of sending the signal from a spare DVD player around the house as well.

The DVD only has a single SCART socket on the back, but I'm using an RF distribution box . ... is there any way I can convert the DVD SCART into an RF connection?

Thanks in anticipation!!

YOu could try one of these (or something similar)

RF Modulator

Though it won't do Infra-Red signals for the remote.

Thanks.

So I can't frig it with a video recorder or anything?

I thought this would be possible if you connected the dvd player to the vcr via scart then set the vcr to line 1 input, then via the rf lead to your distribution centre. I didn't think macrovision kicked in unless you were recording so the picture should be okay. I have not tried it but I thought it would work.

Yep, that works . ...

2 x Sky digiboxes and a multi-region DVD shooting around my house. Lovely jubbly!
