Connecting Hard Drive Recorder to Multiple Televisions
Until a couple of years ago I had an old VCR which was connected by a SCART lead to the main television but also had an RF output connected via an
amplifier and co-axial cable to two televisions in other rooms.
This meant that if we recorded a program you could watch it on any of the televisions.
When we replaced the VCR with a Hard Drive recorder it only had SCART and HDMI outputs so now anything we record can only be watched on the main TV
unless we copy it to DVD and the play it via a DVD player attached to the other televisions.
I’m sure there must be a better solution so does anyone have any advice.
John.

something like this perhaps?
http://www.audio-visual-uk.co.uk/3-way-scart-splitter----t113v-184-p.asp
i know they're usually used to get like a DVD, video and games to one tv, but this one seems to say it can be used the other way, to get one
output to multiple tvs. not sure if they're all capable of that (switched ones will only work to 1 tv at a time, but would still work, kinda)
never tried it myself, but can't think why it wouldn't work... or is there some kind of scart to rf signal converter?
like this? http://www.telly-leads.co.uk/rf-modulator.htm
or as above, HDMI spliiters, but i think theres a maximum length on cables, so you'd need to watch for that

Which is solved by running it down a pair of cat6 cables.
