Connect two or more TV's to one Set top box

Hi I am new HERE.
I wanted to know if its possible to connect 2 or more TV/Lcd with one set top box.
The set top box has a scart out and video in (scart), coax in from aerial and a coax out to loop.


THANKS for any help.
Kurt

Scart connectors carry video out as well as in so you could connect a scart lead from the TV with the STB connected to the second TV although that will only give you composite quality. If you want to feed rgb to each TV you need an active splitter like this

Bluedelta 1 x 4 Multiscreen RGB Scart Splitter - FutureShop.co.uk

You could also send the signal wirelessly using a video sender (preferably a 5.8GHz one)

Another way is to split the stb rf out (using an amplifier if needed) and use the stb internal modulator (if it has one)to send the stb output to the remote TV over coax as a analogue mono sound uhf channel which the remote TV can tune as a normal analogue channel
