You need to put a box in the loft or else where that connects to your ariel and with extra wiring and sensors on each tv.

Take a look at this

not as easy as it looks lol thought there might be a wireless way to do it

 

[wreckedit]

Don't know of one. But it would be expensive if there was one. There are systems that transmit the same programme to each tv for a few pounds. But this system means you can change the programme on each tv.

Another way is to use one of these and another set top box. Free or £5 in a boot sale.

I just run some coax from the TV2 out of my Sky box, up existing pipework conduit, normal aerial cable, straight into the back of my upstairs TV, jobdone.

The problem is the Sky remote eye doesn't work, as the cable run is too long, that enables you to use the remote to turn over your remote TV, remotely.

If you want a really basic install, run the basic coax out your window frame, and into the upstairs window frame. Whatever channel is on the main box, is now on your bedroom box.

Those TV remote transmitters are awful.

All devices like this have by coms. law a maximum signal strenght. So it may be that it is not suitable.

Try giving these a call

I can't see a sender working, in such a large environment, I was summonsed to my parents to install an amplied settop aerial for a digital TV, and on max gain, that couldn't receive a decent picture.

I still suggest, rather than having a main aerial, and a powered amp system to all rooms, just stick a bog standard aerial in the loftspace, or feed a coax from the aerial out 2, via coax, and fit a remote eye, so the TV can be switched over.
