Ok
Here is our set up !
One telly in frontroom connected directly to Virgin box on the wall
An aerial socket leading from the ariel on the roof , that has a lead going down to the bedroom , which in turn if you use a splitter runs through to the spare room, so totally separate from Virgin
My question is , how (if even possible) do i get virgin telly on the downstairs Tv`s for the least possible amount of money !!
Cheers

Had to re-read this a couple of times before working out ('I think') that your front room is upstairs?

If the Virgin box has RF in and RF out then take the aerial from the roof INTO the Virgin box, then out of the Virgin RF out and onto the splitter.

This will 'add' the Virgin signal to the RF cable and you should be able to tune in on the downstairs TVs.

If you follow Scorpion's instuctions then you need to plug the roof aerial into 'antenna' get a lead that will join 'TV out' to the splitter, then take the 2 splitter outputs to the TV's.
