Hi guys. Hopefully someone can help me.
I bought an DSE 2.4 Av sender the other day in hopes of having Sky in my bedroom.On the back of my decoder (Pace) there is red and white rca's for output but no video out.
Any ideas on how to connect this?
Ideally i would like to be able to change channels in the bedroom too.(the sender has a remote extender thing as well).
Thanks for your help.

From memory the Pace has 2 scart out plugs. you will need to get a scart to composite RCA adaptor ( DSE have them), then you can connect it to your extender with the RCA cables

Okay i've had a look and if i take out the tv scart but leave in the vcr scart (which i think goes in the recorder) it should be sweet.
so i just plug in the adaptor (does it look like a little black box with 3 holes?)and plug in the rca cables off of the sender that should be sweet?This will work with my sky remote eh?

I have tried this and in my honestly opinion, it is CRAP... it doesn't work when it was few metre away and only through a GIB wall. It snows so badly that you can't see anything.

You'd be better off to run long cable.

i bought the scart plug and hooked it all up and it was mint.the only problem was the remote was a bit picky with when it would work so i flagged it.i'll just stick with normal tv but thats ok.
Thanks for your help everyone.
