Virgin box and multi TV's questions

Hi All

Ive recently HAD to change my upstairs Virgin media box, due to it being knackered, and now can not drive extra TV's off it,

We have the main VM box in the lounge, and that's fine,

The old VM box upstairs (office) used run the office tv and two spare rooms, and the garage TV, (sad I know!) as the old VM box had a TV out as well as scarts etc, so it was any easy hook up with splitters etc, obviously, if any of the other rooms wanted to change channels, it had to be done in the office, all of this worked fine

The new VM box has one scart one HDMI, one usb and one Ethernet connections, but no tv out port

Ideally, I am looking for a scart to coax lead, to drive all the other Tv's, but unable to find such an animal

Or is there any other way I can achieve what I had to before, and it has to go through coax, and not very long scart leads

steve





Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

you would need something like this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scart-RF-Aerial-Modulator-Converter/dp/B007FT8OAM

undoubted cheaper ones available

It's a shame the other devices don't have HDMI, it seems quite tolerant of long distance travel (probably because it's digital). I can see you can get devices to convert HDMI to SCART, and HDMI splitters are very common, perhaps running HDMI everywhere and then tapping a signal to a splitter in each room would work?

You can't use the rj45 hdmi extenders and split the output to the other TVs.
