i'd like to have a 2nd tv run off of it. is it as simple as running another output cable from the box to the 2nd tv?

how about changing channels? since the cable box will be in the living room will i have control over that through the 2nd tv or will i have to go into the other room and flip there?

any ideas on how to solve the problem? (i don't want another cable box, mostly for aesthetic reasons)

thnx
my set-up is as follows

Cable box downstairs, connected to TV (scart)

back of cable has a "SECOND" UHF lead to secnd tv upstairs bedroom.

2 options I have, just watch channels (1,2,3,4,5 terrestrial TV via upstairs remote (I'm in UK)) and select 6 which is for cable reciver downstairs.


However for about £10, I now have a unit which plus into the same co-axial cable and allows me to control my cable box (downstairs) from upstairs, obviously different cable boxes may have a different setups but thats is the basics.

try contacting the company that looks after or maintains the cable box
