Hi guys
Hope you can help and advise what I need to get for distribution.

Basically I have a static caravan that I want to set up a sky reciever in the lounge area and distribute it down to two end bedrooms. Nothing fancy like multiroom just the ability to watch sky fed from the receiver in the lounge to the bedrooms and be able to change channel from bedroom. I understand all tvs will see same channel but this is not a problem as only one TV will be watched at a time.
Hope this makes sense.

Hi and welcome,

A simple 2 way IR distribution amplifier fed from the RF2 port of the digibox.

you will need a small amp 1 input 2 output with digital bypass built in for magic eyes .. this will be fed from the rf 2output of reciever , the 2 outputs will feed other tvs for which will go into the outputs of the amp ... after that its just a job of tuning in tvs and fitting magic eyes lol ...also make sure the line voltage is turned on in the sky menus ...services .. system setup ...0 1 select ..4 rf outlets then turn on the setting to on for line power and save settings good luck ..

Thanks guys. Had a look at the F120 which is 1 input x 2 output which is what I need. Just one more quick question. The F120 has F connectors. is it OK for the patch leads to run f connectors at one end and standard aerial plugs at the other end for the tv signal in.

No problem at all :)

There are a range of amplifiers available with IR pass either mains or line powered.
