Controling 2 Extra TVs from 1 Digibox

    What is the best way to add a third TV off the Digibox. My second TV has an eye and remote now, but when I add a 3rd TV off a splitter from the 2nd, the 2nd no longer works.

    A clean solution is most appreciated?

    In what way does it not work?

    If there is a picture and it is just that the remote doesn't work it means that the 9V signal is not getting sent through the splitter. You may have to buy a fancier splitter.

    A simple solution might be to use the 2 RF outputs for the 2 extra TVs and just use a scart for the main TV.

    You are right the 9v is not getting through. I get a picture great, but no remote control. I will try a better splitter (suggestions welcome).

    I can not use the Scart as my main TV is from the US and the signal goes through a fancy digital converter (wish digibox had s-video support).

    A splitter will not work in this case as the digibox will shut off the power supply. You should use a sky digital amp which is powered from the digibox. You can see one on our site URL below.

    Try using a Global 7 way or 4 way splitter. 7 way is boosted by a dc inverter and is available from www.satshop.co.uk.

    I use the 7 way splitter and have 4 additional tvs off my digibox with the ability to change digibox channels - Works well
