Default 2nd. TV

Hi,

Could someone advise me on how to get my cable network to my parents

granny
flat.

We have Sky T.V. connected to our VCR and then to our main TV.
Tried taking a co-ax RF output but guess run must have been too long.
(Works O.K. if I bring their set alongside)
Next tried a Wireless Video Sender. Generally works O.K. but often

there is
interference etc.
Have investigated all appliances, PC, cordless phone etc. not only with
ourselves but next door neighbour.
Tried repositioning of transmitter and receiver but to no avail.
Transmission frequency is 2.4 GHz but cannot find any way to change this
should the interference be coming from another source.
Tried contacting manufacturer but no reply.

Would consider putting in a SCART but think distance too long - approx

30
ft.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.


How did you feed the coax run..? A simple splitter is unlikely to work,
you need a distribution amp, preferably a high gain one; most of the
cheap amps you see in the shops have a gain of around 6dB or so, you could
do with one with say 30dB gain. They are available, but somewhat like
hen's teeth to find..! Maybe someone here can advise a source (I could do
with another one..!)
