A virgin engineer told me to run a cable from the RF OUT on the box to my second tv but as there is no RF signal going IN to the box, this is useless.

any ideas?

Freeview is DTT so its impossible to get it thru cable. its like trying to get satellite thru cable its impossible & theres no way of ever getting it to work.

so if I can get RF out without an aerial plugged in. how does it work?

also it depends on whether your tv can tune in cable channels, mine can but the bigger tv downstairs cant. if you can on your tv then a splitter will do the job & you just connect some satellite tv coax to your tv upstairs with an f plug at the splitter end & a rf plug at the other. have a look here for how to connect an f plug correctly, although its on about satellite tv the principle is the same: http://www.uk-satellite-tv.co.uk/tec...lp_154117.html
