NTL cable multiroom?

I would like to send rf signal from my ntl box around my house like ive done with sky in the past.I know on sky boxes the rf2 output carries power and enables users to use digieyes in other rooms can the same apply to ntl boxes im not bothered about changing channels in other rooms but i want to connect it to a mast head amp with a return path so i can watch in 4 rooms any ideas ?

If I've understood your question correctly, you can pipe the RF output of an NTL box around the house by using a suitable distribution amplifier (not masthead) with as many outputs as you need. NTL boxes do not have a facility for a remote extender "magic eye" but you could still use something like a "Smarteye" and "SmartBlaster" provided that your box doesn't use IRDA. (See http://www.satcure.com/tech/page11.htm for an explanation).

This is not "multiroom", by the way, because every room will receive the same programme.
