Just so you know you dont need to use a Maplin's UHF modulator. You can either split the feed from the cable entering the V+ or take a feed from your roof top aeriel and fed into into the coax aerial socket in the back of the V+ box . Then take the coax output from the V+ to your second TV. You will have to retune the tv to see the digital channel which is about 719MHZ instead of 823 Mhz . You may have to fix a 6 db attenuator onto the analog feed into your V+ otherwise the digital picture may be fuzzy. This may degrade the picture quality of the analog channels slightly. I found the maplin UHF modulator worked well but the colour on the digital signal was a bit red so I used the coax sockets on the back of the V+ Box and a roof top aerial feed. Without the aeriel feed the coax output of the V+ box only gives you the UHF digital signal.
