I already have Digiturk installed in my living room. We would like to have it another room as well, is it possible to do this or do i need a second box ( more money i am sure)

If so how please

We have digi-turk in our bedroom which runs from the box downstairs. We got a liitle box from Tektan in town (along the side street from Iktisat bank) which has a scart lead connection in/out and then and old style arial connection. You run the scart lead from the digi-turk into the little box and then the box scart lead goes into the TV. Then the aerial goes up to the bedroom and plugs into the bedroom tv - make sense. Cost about 10tl two years ago. Only down side is you can only change channel downstairs!!



Or you can get a second box from digi-turk for about £100 I think.



Good luck!

re msg 1



IF you want to have DT in a second room . but don't mind watching what is showing in the first room, then you can run a RF ( aerial ) cable between the DT receiver ( RF out) and the second TV.. and using something, like a magic eye, change channels.



If you want an independent choice of DT chanels, you need:



1/ second DT receiver and subscription



2/ second feed from your dish to the second receiver.. this will probably mean having a dual LNB fitted.. should not cost more than £30 for that.. plus cable plus labour..



3 / you need to ask DT what they will charge for an addl. sub

If you want to watch different channels on each T.V. You will need another receiver and double your subscription to Digiturk for another card.

If you want to watch the same channels then you can get a video sender (ebay) and you can change channels in both rooms.
