Didn't think the Dreambox 500s had an RF modulator, are you connecting to the IF loopthrough?

The dreambox has a scart ,3 phono (yellow,red,white) dish in and next to it the same connector as dish in saying(out)the only way i think i can connect it to other rooms is if i put in all new leads around house and use the phono(red,yellow,white)thats what i call them to replace all the old aerial lead but i was hoping i could somehow use the existing aerial lead,i hope i dont sound to confusing because im confusing myself but thanks for the reply anyway rolfw

You could connect a video sender to the scart socket on the 500. Think thats your easiest option.

An RF modulator will do it.

Connect the main TV via scart from DB and feed the modulator from the phono outputs. Then output the modulator with co-axial and feed it up to loft where you can install distribution amp to many rooms.
