I have a dual tuner with each having a RF output, what is it I can do with them? Possibly connect them to my tv digital inputs? Curiosity has got the better of me hence the topic.

Help/guidance much appreciated.

It is a loop out, for looping to another tuner.

It is not a modulator. You cannot connect to TV and duplicate what is on the receiver.

Hmm that's a shame. I was thinking plug it to the tv digital input so the missus could use YpuView, she's always banging on about catch up tv!

What signal have you got coming into the tuner?

VM is coming in to both tuners via a splitter

Just connect a wire from aerial connection directly to TV then. No need to involve the receiver.

I don't have an aerial wire? Only VM connection but I have ran spare coax to my Tv's which is why I thought rf might work...

But your TV doesn't have a Cable connection, only a Terrestrial connection...

It has 2 IF Satellite inputs on the tv, does that make a difference?

Think of the RF Out/Loop Out port as an extender or splitter. It splits/extends whatever signal comes in.

So,
if you have connected a Cable signal in, it sends out the same Cable signal for you to connect to another Cable decoder/tuner.
if you have connected an aerial signal in, it sends out the same aerial signal for you to connect to another Terrestrial decoder/tuner/TV.
