Is it connected?
You can buy the made up cable you need from outlet to TV .
Those amplifiers are not great .
For that distance I think it may be more of a connection , or lack of it problem.

 

[adam robertson]

There is a wire connected to the wall socket

 

[ruston]

But is it connected at the other end .
Prove continuity before you go buying stuff.

Don't know can't get to the main aerial

 

[ruston]

How does the main aerial cable come in , is it teminated to an outlet box ? If so see if it is distributed from there .
How far are the two TV's apart, you could make up a lead to see if that gives you a picture . TV cable and joiners are not expensive.

Is it one of those setups that seem quite common these days. The bedroom tv point will run to the back of the main tv point. Usually a module in a muti gang data plate, it needs a splitter from the aerial to plug into this return module and loop the signal to the bedroom. Usually a setup I have seen for Sky to be viewed in two rooms, enabled through the RF out on the Sky box, then connected the the return module on the media plate.
