conecting a780 + virgin box to 1 tv?

[ozzy12]

whats the best way to connect an a780 as well as a virgin box to 1 tv?

I was thinking of using a 3 way splitter but was`nt sure whether this would reduce signal strength or not.

have used in the past a 2 way splitter in outside box, one feed going upstairs to dm500 other feed going into living room. on living room feed a used a further 3 way splitter to hook up vermin stb, another dm500 and vm modem.. no ill effects at all...

always get a good quality splitter tho, and remove when scanning for channels.

yeah splitter best, i use it and have both boxes on 1 tv it works great and signal strength just the same with splitter or without. gd luck

connected virgin media box up with kryptview via a 3 way splitter.

all works no bother without jeopradising signal strength.

champion.

As long as the connections are tight enough without being too tight, you should be fine.

I'm also using a splitter. But KV has a RF loop through as well. It might work too (give the main feed to KV then connect RF out to virmin). Try it and let us know. Cheers!

if you use the loop out from the kv, you will loose the on-demand services from your vermin box,

there is no talk back when you go through the loop... ( as i found out the hard way.. )

i phoned and complained my on demand wasn't working...
