MohitPreet, Sep 25, 2009 #1 Offline sumchamp Privileged Users Trophy Points:62Ask Airtel to provide you secondary connection to your room. sumchamp, Sep 25, 2009 #2 Offline MohitPreet Privileged Users Trophy Points:0^will that be free of cost! MohitPreet, Sep 25, 2009 #3 Offline sumchamp Privileged Users Trophy Points:62No...they charge something like 150 bucks/month for other connection apart from parent connection. You also have to purchase STB. sumchamp, Sep 25, 2009 #4 Offline MohitPreet Privileged Users Trophy Points:0arre bhai i m not asking about that! thats an add-on connection on the primary one! i want to split the one signal from the set top box to 2 tv's so that both the tv's can have the same channel , if u change the channel from the primary tv , channel will automatically change on the other tv as well i dont want 2 independent connections, just want to split 1 into 2 , so that i m atleast able to watch matches in my room when all in my family r asleep!! r u getting my point! in short i m not ready to pay-up for the other connection just for on-off viewing of only 1 channel- star cricket somebody please help! i know this is possible! and some of u might have already done that! MohitPreet, Sep 26, 2009 #5 Offline teche Privileged Users Trophy Points:26Though I don't have any 1st hand experience, still try a splitter, this shall have 1 or 2 more outlets which would let you attach similar no. of T.V's. But from what I've heard, same programmes would run on all T'V's supplied with same STB. teche, Sep 26, 2009 #6 Offline adder Privileged Users Trophy Points:102MohitPreet said: arre bhai i m not asking about that! thats an add-on connection on the primary one! i want to split the one signal from the set top box to 2 tv's so that both the tv's can have the same channel , if u change the channel from the primary tv , channel will automatically change on the other tv as well i dont want 2 independent connections, just want to split 1 into 2 , so that i m atleast able to watch matches in my room when all in my family r asleep!! r u getting my point! in short i m not ready to pay-up for the other connection just for on-off viewing of only 1 channel- star cricket somebody please help! i know this is possible! and some of u might have already done that!Click to expand...well sure u can do that,i do that in my big tv and airtel digital tv.i.e some of the channels i don't get in airtel i watch it from big tv and vice versa. now the easiest way, is to connect the tv closest to stb via composite and the one which is kept the farthest u can connect them via a regular RF cable or coaxial cable. alternately if ur tv has a monitor out aka tv out usualy its a composite out u can connect them to ur second tv composite In. adder, Sep 26, 2009 #7 1 person likes this. Offline MohitPreet Privileged Users Trophy Points:0the thing is my primary tv is a 30yr old sony tv which has no composite out. i connect it to my stb only with the RF cable - the single lead one , not the one which has 3 diff color coded cables- the a/v cable. and the other tv in my room which is on the first floor also does not have a composite out i can connect only using RF now how to connect both, do i need a co-axial splitter for that or anything else!!

Connect between RF Out of STB box and TV RF In. sumchamp, Sep 26, 2009 #11 Offline MohitPreet Privileged Users Trophy Points:0any other suggestions..
