Just wondering if anyone can help with this.
Just moved house and installed a TV in the kitchen, we also want one in the bedroom. It is unlikely that both will be viewed at the same time so I am trying to link the two up to one Freesat box with some sort of magic eye set up.

In the attic we have a splitter/amplifier, could I have one wire coming into the Freesat box possibly located in the attic and then split the signal to go to the two television's?

I could then use a magic eye or remote extender to change the channels on the box....

Or is there a better way?

Can't really see why you would do this to be honest.

Freesat boxes are fairly cheap and it would be a lot easier!

Any reason you don't want two boxes?

It has just occurred to me that you may mean FreeView boxes?

Again, I just bought a load for a tenner each!

The Missus doesn't want a shelf put up to house the box, so I am thinking of way around the problem!

Freesat boxes do not have RF outs like Sky boxes do, so create a setup with magic eyes you must modulate an RF feed. easiest/cheapest way is to use this:
