don't double post//crosspost

btw, wouldn't you need 2 boxes (those..uhh channel switching boxes ) to do that? or do you just directly plug the cable line into your TV..

can't you call telewest to do this?

the living room will have the box and bedroom will watch whatever living room is watching.

Just any cable splitter. You may want a splitter with an amp. I am using one in the 50-400mhz range for my TV (It's an amplifier with 4 outputs)

They are illegal / forbidden in some places however since your not paying for an extra TV. Best buy, radio shack ect should have them.

Unless the living room is far across the house form the bedroom I doubt he'd need an amplified one.

Just a plain ol' cable splitter:

RadioShack is expensive. I've found one cheaper in the electronics section of my grocery store.

The quality would be increased if you got an amplifier.

Yes, but unless he is really picky about it I wouldn't think it would be necessary. Now if he were to have more than two TVs hooked up to the same connection, he might want it amplified.
