Re: New skyq
Hi @Sha14
Regarding the leads in your Photo.
These are all RF leads (terrestrial aerial leads)
One (possibly the one with the solid inner pin) will likely be connected to your terrestrial aerial.
The other two are likely to go to other device.
If you connect the one with the solid pin to either of the other two you should that one will allow Freeview (terrestrial 📺) on your other TV.

Re: New skyq
Yeah;
one is most likely the IN fron the TV aerial
Figure out which one that is by trying all 3 in the TV terrestrial socket. You have "aerial" written on the booklet. When you get a picture on a normal terrestrial TV channel (not an AV or HDMI input) you'll know that's the right one.
Then LABEL IT and move that cable to the input of the splitter and use the two outputs to go;
1. to the TV in the other room (again you'll just have to test which remaining cable is connected to the TV you want to use and which goes to the magic eye thing you don't care about
2 and then you will ALSO need an output from it to the TV in the same room. Might need a new short RF cable for that.

Re: New skyq
Thank you both and I apologise about private message, didn't realise sorry.
I get what you're both saying but can't see how the splitter will fit into aerial port on TV, there's no way a splitter will fit into TV or do I need a lead from where the aerial in goes and plug that into splitter then the upstairs TV?
So sorry if I'm making it sound so complicated.🤷🤦🏼♀️

A 'splitter' doesn't fit into a TV: a television is a destination device, not a signal source.
It goes between the aerial and multiple destinations.
