Combining terrestrial and Sky on RF2?

    Hi Guys

    A friend has Sky+ set-up towards 2 TVs using RF2 and on his main TV. However the guy who set it up only put the terrestrial aerial feed into the back of the Sky box. This combines the terrestrial and Sky signal on the RF2 to the other 2 TVs but leaves his main TV without terrestrial.

    I guess he needs to split the aerial connection before putting it into the Sky box. Then he can have one coax going to Sky and the other directly to the back of the TV.

    What type of coax spliter can he use? or is it even advisable to do it this way?

    Thanks!

    Your friend needs a male to female rf cable to feed from rf1 output on his sky + box to the main tv

    Cheers scaller! I didnt know what the RF1 was for....

    Just to be sure:

    RF cable = Coaxial cable?

    No bother
    You're Friend should have got 1 with the sky+ box it's about 1 metre long black with a male type connection on one and a female type connection on the other end.
    the easiest way to know this cable would be that one end fits into the other.
    Hence Male to Female
