I have a Virgin V+ box and an LG 50" full HD plasma TV in my living room. I have a 19" Technosonic LCD, bought from Tesco, in my bedroom. I have just bought from Maplin, a Nikka HQ 5.8ghz video sender, A13HX. I have connected the scart lead from the transmitter in the living room into the VCR out, scart socket on the V+box. The IR eye is in front of the V+ box and the receiver is connected to the scart socket of the other TV. The TV and V+ box are connected via HDMI. So good, so far.

From the bedroom, I can change the channels on the V+ box but I have no picture and no sound on the bedroom TV.

I have fiddled about with the settings on the TV, Scart, S-vid etc, without success. I have tuned, retuned, and then retuned the TV again, no success. I have connected a second TV to the receiver, again, no success. I went and made a cuppa, again, no success.

I have to say that I am not as daft as some people think I look, but I cannot watch TV in my bedroom.

Does anyone have any ideas before I pull what little hair I have left, out. ]]> eileen_david http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1128779-v-transmitter-receiver-problems.html Need a good DVB-C Receiver http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1126852-need-good-dvb-c-receiver.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:10:29 GMT I am off to Finland and the apartment I am moving to is equipped with cable.

We have a Belling Lee like TV connector which doesn't fit the normal TV cable. Anyone knows how to get it connected to a common TV? what kind of cable should I use?

I attached a picture with measurements of this connector.

Thanks

I recently had Virgin installed in a house i've been doing up. Now as we're doing the house in stages, we plan to use the front room as the living room for a bit while we get the lounge properly up together (needs a fireplace installing etc). The Cable comes into the houe from the front and into the front room where the guy put an isolator box. I'd already put a longish cable under the floorboard to take that signal into the lounge when it's ready. Now, the guy who installed it put the splitter on the end in the lounge but didnt attatch it to the wall or anything so i have a long cable coming out of the floor with a splitter on then 2 more metre or so long cables coming out of that. What i'd like to know is what is the best way to tidy it all up? What can i use to attach it to the wall and can i get rid of the crappy metal splitter he put in and have it split in a wall box of some sort?? I'd like to get it sorted before we have the carpet layed :lease:

Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, i'll try to explain myself better if anyone needs.

Many many thanks in advance. ]]> badlydrunkboy http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1116871-best-way-tidy-up-cbles-splitters.html wiring 2nd stb in spare room http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1115690-wiring-2nd-stb-spare-room.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:01:21 GMT Hi Guys, first I have to apologise for my lack of techinical know how but here goes: Pre digital switchover everything was great, I had a Ntl stb in the living room with a aerial running to the spare room so i could watch all the terrestial channels in there plus whatever i was watching in the... Hi Guys, first I have to apologise for my lack of techinical know how but here goes:
Pre digital switchover everything was great, I had a Ntl stb in the living room with a aerial running to the spare room so i could watch all the terrestial channels in there plus whatever i was watching in the living room could be viewed in the spare room.
After switchover this has gone off, so I have added a 2nd set top box in the spare room, but i cannot seem to hook it up properly. I have a two way splitter running off my main cable feed , 1 is used for the living room the other for spare room stb. The old cable is running from the living room thru the attic and into the spare room, it is a tv aerial cable (if that makes sense?) so i have split the cable feed and hooked it up to the aerial cable running thru the attic (which is extended by another cable) , added a 'f' plug adapter on the end (in spare room) and screwed it on to the ntl box. I though this should do the trick but no joy.
Do i need a specific cable for the stb to work?
Is the 'cable' faulty as it is extended in the attic?

Hope this makes sense! ]]> pateld http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1115690-wiring-2nd-stb-spare-room.html Wireless T.V.

I hope that this post is in the correct forum, if not perhaps someone could re-direct me.

My question is :- I have Cable T.V. , is there any form of Transceiver that will allow me to connect the cable input directly into the transmitter, then connect the receiver to the cable box and T.V in another room.
Reason is that the Cable entry into my home is some distance ( in wiring terms ) from the T.V.. Line of sight is very small, but to run a cable across and thro' to my lounge would be a mess. ]]> bicky http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1115095-wireless-t-v-transmitter-receiver.html Virgin Media splitter.

I am a Virgin Media customer. I have a splitter to send my signal off to 2 things within my livingroom. The spiltter is installed next to my PC so i can get the broadband signal, and then the 2nd splitter signal send off to the other side of the room via the cable to go into the VBox.

My question is this:

I am looking to move my modem over to where my TV is and use my TV as my monitor now. Where my splitter is just now, would i need to somehow connect the 2 ends of the cable up that comes into the splitter and then goes off to the VBox. Or can i just remove the cable from the splitter that send to the modem and just buy a new splitter and attach it to the one that goes into the back of my VBox?

Sorry if that sounds a bit all over the place. But it's the best i can do.

Any help would be amazing, as all i am doing is looking to move my modem really. But don't know if having another splitter attached would do anything to the signal ]]> Colin Grieve http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1113474-virgin-media-splitter-need-help.html Which service should I go for? http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1111950-service-should-i-go.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:39:55 GMT Hi Guys, my contracts with BT (Phone Line) Sky (TV package) and O2 (Broadband) are about to expire. Together they cost around £75 every month.

I was thinking of grabbing Virgin Media's Phone, TV, Broadband which costs around £60.00 per month. I don't watch much TV but like to watch it here and there, so is it worth going with Virgin or are they bad?

I know this has been asked a few times but my main concern is that there may be a hidden catch to going with Virgin.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. ]]> marcus263 http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1111950-service-should-i-go.html <![CDATA[Virgin media 2 tv's remote controll help]]> http://www.avforums.com/forums/cable-tv-services/1111678-virgin-media-2-tvs-remote-controll-help.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:26:25 GMT I have put a 2 way splitter on my hdmi cable and can now watch TV upstairs in HD.I used to use a AV sender but got fed up with interference and no HD upstairs.
