Hi all,
I am going to configure my TV setup as follows:
- Main ariel to 2 way amp/splitter; one to feed living room TV (with built-in Freeview) and one to feed Sky+
- from RF2 on Sky+ this is going to amp in loft to feed 2 bedrooms. I will be using the 9v from RF2 to power the amp as power is an issue in loft (amp: Labgear CA141/S Compact Aerial Amplifier Single Input 4 Outputs - Screwfix.com, Where the Trade Buys)
- this will then split to bedroom 1 which has an LCD TV with built-in Freeview of which I will use a magic-eye so I can control Sky+.
- bedroom 2 has just got a "normal" tube TV without a magic-eye.
My question is what happens to the 9v on the coaxial cable going to bedroom 2? Is this a normal configuration or do I need a magic-eye for bedroom 2 to terminate the 9v? Or does the amp in the loft take care of this?
Sorry if I'm being stupid, I just want to make sure that I'm buying all the right bits!
One other quick question - as mentioned, I'm using an amp on the main feed coming in from the ariel and splitting it to the living room TV and Sky+. Am I better to just feed Sky+ from this and then use RF1 to feed the main TV? Does it make any difference at all?
Cheers,
Paul.
