V+ to second TV with RF modulator

I have a Proception ProMod1 RF modulator:

PROception proMOD1 Modulator | Satbuyer

I've been trying to use this to output the V+ box to a second TV.

I have the V+ box connected via HDMI to my main TV, then the RF modulator connected to the V+ box via scart lead from the video scart out.

I then have an aerial cable from the RF out socket on the RF modulator to my second TV.

I've tried changing the RF output channel on the V+ box, but still can't get a picture on the 2nd TV.

Can anyone help?



Thanks,
Mike

The V+ box or any device does not output RF signals via SCART so modifying the RF location setting of the V+ box will have no effect on the setup you have. Use the SCART output marked VCR from the V+ box to the RF modulator. You need to tune the TV to the RF location of the modulator and not the designated RF location of the V+ Box/ It is the modulator that is creating the RF signal from he SCART output, not the V+ box that is output RF via the SCART output.

I have tried auto tune on my tv - it doesn't pick up any signal

Via the onboard digital tuner or the analogue tuner?

Can only suggest that it is a problem with the modulator then.
