    DM500s run to 2 TV's

    Apologies i know its old school stuff and i should know it, but before heading up to the caravan not equipped with the correct leads etc. what do you guys think. DM500S is set up in the caravan using scart out to TV, got a 2nd TV in the awning (mainly for the kids) and im wanting to watch this also. Im not bothered if both TVs cant be on at the same time, but im wondering how it will work. Here is my idea - purchase a 10m composite to Scart and connect this to 2nd TV. My concern is will the 2nd TV pick up the picture ok, if so each time iwll i have to disconnect the scart from the 1st TV or just standby the TV for the duration???

    Im looking for the cheapest/quickest/easiest option

    cheers

      so basically if i purchase this RF MODULATOR CONVERT SCART OR PHONO TO AERIAL INPUT | eBay - I connect a scart from tv1 to rf mod, then run a coax from the rf mod to the TV2 - the 20m of cable I have has the satellite connector on which isnt gonna fit into the back of TV2 so do i need to buy rf connectors?

        If your 20 meters of cable already have 'F' type connectors on them then you could purchase these: F Type Screw Connector Socket to RF Aerial Male Adapter on eBay! or just buy 2 normal ones and fit them to the cable.

          right i get the bit about scart from dm500 to modulator, then coax out goes to other tv, but how is the first tv connected? is this another coax going to the modulator or do i run composite from the tv to the rca on the modulator box - sorry for confusion

            just to throw something out there - what would happen if i used a coax cable with an f connector on one end - i plug this into the 'ANT out' on the dm500s then that same coax lead goes into the back of the 2nd TV with one of these:
            F Type Screw Connector Socket to RF Aerial Male Adapter on eBay!

            why wont this work - for what i want.

            anyone??????

              ok found out its only for looping to another receiver so that ones out the window?

              anyone out there can you answer my Q about how the TV1 connects to RF mod when the tv has only 1 scart input? Do i need to purchase a composite lead or a scart lead (1:2)

                just use long component from box to second tv and component to scart converter on tv end.

                plenty of long leads on auction site and component to scart converters
