Will TM Twin with Vix look the same as Vu+ & how can I control it from another room?

Looks great going into my Samsung smart tv via rf in the bedroom. Rf also used for hd signals for freeview hd so it can't be that bad?

RF is the basis for all terrestrial and satellite signals. It is how the information is encoded onto the RF signal which determines the quality. Good widescreen PAL analogue signals encoded RGB would have the edge on lower-rate digital SD transmission. However, and it is big however - your TM box (or an older SKY box for that matter) is taking a low-quality colour signal (composite - not RGB video) and mono sound and modulating it onto an RF carrier for distribution around your home. This is the point Rob is making. It's the lowest quality of video (and no stereo sound) - only a notch above VHS video.

Well I'm running 2 tm boxes out into a triax mod which then sends all around the house with excellent picture and sound. In fact the graininess which is shown through hdmi on sdchannels is not present through the rf feed therefore making the Sd picture actually clearer. Each to their own. Was only offering my own observation of the actual box the op was referring too. Set up correctly the results are brilliant. I had to tweak the mod to get the picture bang on. If the op already has the rf feed already installed from a sky digibox he doesn't need to be shelling out £58 for an hdmi extender to view sd channels.

Correct .
