how two tv's are connected with airtel stb i tried with splitter but no result on second tv plz suggest some thing so i able to watch on second tv

coax out on ctv box to coax splitter. coax to each tv from splitter. u will have the same channel on both tv's..

i can go for a parallel line but with that both the tvs will see the same channel at the same time.

thats not a problem for me atleast i will get to watch star cricket

but i m not able to do it on my airtel set top box!!

plz help me guys

as i have to watch the indo-pak match on my tv in my room tomorrow

anyone!!
 
No...they charge something like 150 bucks/month for other connection apart from parent connection. You also have to purchase STB.
 
arre bhai i m not asking about that!

thats an add-on connection on the primary one!

i want to split the one signal from the set top box to 2 tv's

so that both the tv's can have the same channel , if u change the channel from the primary tv , channel will automatically change on the other tv as well

i dont want 2 independent connections,

just want to split 1 into 2 , so that i m atleast able to watch matches in my room when all in my family r asleep!!

r u getting my point!

in short i m not ready to pay-up for the other connection just for on-off viewing of only 1 channel- star cricket

somebody please help!

i know this is possible!

and some of u might have already done that!
 
Though I don't have any 1st hand experience, still try a splitter, this shall have 1 or 2 more outlets which would let you attach similar no. of T.V's.
But from what I've heard, same programmes would run on all T'V's supplied with same STB.

well sure u can do that,i do that in my big tv and airtel digital tv.i.e some of the channels i don't get in airtel i watch it from big tv and vice versa.
now the easiest way, is to connect the tv closest to stb via composite and the one which is kept the farthest u can connect them via a regular RF cable or coaxial cable.
alternately if ur tv has a monitor out aka tv out usualy its a composite out u can connect them to ur second tv composite In.

the thing is my primary tv is a 30yr old sony tv which has no composite out. i connect it to my stb only with the RF cable - the single lead one ,

not the one which has 3 diff color coded cables- the a/v cable.

and the other tv in my room which is on the first floor also does not have a composite out

i can connect only using RF

now how to connect both,

do i need a co-axial splitter for that or anything else!!
 
You can't. Period.

Even i tried all this stuff and finally ended up buying another Airtel Digital TV STB!!

You better buy an another one or stop thinking abt 2nd TV! :P

Yes it seems Splitter is the only option available to you.

Connect between RF Out of STB box and TV RF In.
 
well then just get a splitter,but chances are that there will be a signal degradation,when both are watching.btw is it realy a 30year old tv:O since most sony tvs i know or atleast for me didn't last over 11years i.e offcourse without repairs
 
@ adder : yes it is indeed a 30 yr old one :P
@hmasilia : airtel people dont know wat that is, they only know to install a new stb with extra monthly rental for that tv, for which i m not ready at all :P

@nitant: its not dood(read milk), its dude!!:rofl:

well lucky u guys,i still feel those old sony crts still looked better then the later new sony WEGA 2.0 .
btw does it have a wooden frame and a fat remote.
 
so guys finally did it just in time for the indo-pak match:hap2::hap2:

now watching the match in my separate room!

just got the signal via RF out to split into 2

1into primary tv and other into secondary!:hap2::hap2:
 
HAve you tried addind a splitter after the set-top box. Should do the job.

Sorry you have already done that while I was posting.
 
yes added a splitter from the rf out of the set top box

the splitter is like a 3 way knob,

1 to receive signal out from the settop box and 2 outputs for the 2 tv's

got the setup made from a local electronic store with normal cable wire all for 50 bucks!
