    Get the most out of your box

    This is a rough guide to help those that dont realise MOST boxes are capable of delivering pictures to more than 1 tv. On the back of the box, look for an rf out socket, simply connect coax with a fitting to this and run the cable to anywhere in your house, plug in to a second tv, tune in on a channel of your choice, and away you go. You will only be able to watch what channel the box is on though, but great if you want a tv in the bedroom. You could buy a magic eye, (very easy to connect, comes with instructions) then you could take the remote to the bedroom, and be able to change channels from there.
    If you have a spare box lying around, you could also connect this to your main cable feed coming in, using a splitter. Then just run cables from the splitter to your devices (modem/boxes) if you have a modem and 2 boxes for example, you would need a 3 way splitter. This connection can either be done from inside, OR if you have a omnibox (usually brown grey or white) on the wall in your garden, the advantage of using connection outside, is you can run the cables externally.
    As i said, this is just a rough guide to help those that may not of been aware, and i hope it is of some use to some of you.
    Happy viewing
