Hi, all.
We've got a rather convoluted (and probably less than ideal) set-up in our house. Specifically, the Sky digibox is in an upstairs bedroom; it was before my time, but it sounds as if it was installed like that because that's the main phone socket is. A 'TV Link' coax extension runs to the television in the room below. That's all worked fine so far.
We've now added a Panasonic DMR-EX89EB PVR into the equation. There's still no problem with watching Sky via the TV Link...but the PVR would need a Scart connection to the digibox in order to record from Sky, as it merely passes the RF signal straight through. That'd be easy to solve if they were in the same room, less easy when there's a ceiling in the way!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve that problem? Is there a way (another digibox, maybe) of converting the RF signal from the TV Link and sending it through to the PVR? All of the extension kits that I've seen just seem to work with RF only, no sign of Scart. Is there anything else that I might not have thought about?
Any help or ideas would be gratefully received; apologies if I've got any of the terminology wrong. Many thanks in advance.
