Running a second TV?

Post by TheEagle »

Note sure this is in the right sub-category but here goes...

I have my main TV running off a VirginMedia cable box, a DVD and Wii too. I also have a wireless Tx/Rx which sends the video to a TV in the conservatory. Unfortunately, although I bought quite a high spec sender (the 5GHz Nikkei one), the resultant picture is a bit grim, some irritating intermittent interference and some distortion too. I've messed about with changing the senders channels and antenna alignment etc. but it never gets much better.

Given the TV's are only about 8m apart, could I just run a cable instead? If so would I just need a long lead with scarts on each end? My TV is a flatscreen LG.

Any help appreciated.

This would depend on the resolution of the picture you're hoping to view. If you have intention of using HD then get a suitable DVI cable of the correct length.
Don't take it personally......
