Replacing Sky with 1100s Troubles

Hi

My original setup was sky+ box in the living room then a coax cable which runs from the rf
2 connection to the tv upstairs so I can watch sky in another room and control it with a magic eye

Now I think you know what my question is going to be, I have removed said sky box and replaced it with an 1100s.

What bits of kit do I actually need including any cables so that I can watch freesat in the bedroom upstairs and of course control the channels etc? (as you peeps know the 1100s has no scart socket) so I'm all confused

Thank you

Thanks still a little confused, so if I buy the triax tri-link kit from Amazon which is about £45 is that all I need? Or will I need a scart adapter as well? Also any cables required? Thank you

You will also need f to belling lee converters.

Current aerial to splitter in

One output to TV
Other to Tri link in
Tri link out to return socket.

Depends if you want to use Freeview on the upstairs TV. The splitter is to send Freeview to your downstairs TV and the Tri link rf In. The splitter and the Tri-link use f connections. I guess your existing will be push in Belling Lee type. So you either need adaptors or new short coax cables.

The others are because the Humax box has RCA out and the Tri-link scart in.

The freesat box lives in the front room and I want to view it in the upstairs bedroom and control it just like I did with my sky plus box.

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm just trying to get a list of the bits I need to enable me to be this, so you suggest.

Tri-link
Scart adapter
F connectors
Splitter 2 way
Phono leads

Is that correct?

Thanks

Do you watch Freeview on the remote TV's. There's not enough information to say what exactly what you need. Where does the aerial cable come from that you have connected to the Sky box RF1 in (If you have one) ? Have you a coax cable from Sky box RF1 out to the TV ? Does RF2 out connect to a wallplate socket marked return ?

See the post above. I have no idea what your existing cabling is, is everything connected to a wallplate ?
