AV Senders: Advice Please
Mother-in-Law wants a second TV in the bedroom. She lives in an apartment pre-wired with NTL/Virgin cable and has the cable box in the lounge.
She usually only watches the five terrestial channelss plus a couple of the channel available on Freeview (which are free on NTL/Virgin). To have a second cable box fitted in her bedroom will cost £30 plus a monthly rental of £9.95. I've been looking into the options of AV senders which these days seem to be able to send not only the TV picture but the remote control info wirelessly through the building. Prices vary from £25 upwards. Anyone got any advice, experience with this type of kit. Many thanks oncemorealoft |
I recently did something like this for my daughter , I purchased a freeview box from Maplin £17.oo an indside antenna £10.00 and it works a treat.
I guess it all depends on the signal strength where she lives,anyway hope this helped. Hoof. |
I've tried numerous ones in the past, they all worked fine and that was with sky +. However the problem I encountered was interference from my wireless router as they are all 2.4ghz, as most senders only have 4 channels to choose from, couldn't find a channel that didn't suffer from interference so gave up in the end.
Don't know much about the virgin boxes, how many outputs are there? Sky boxes have 2 rf's out, does the virgin box? Depending on the distance involved and if a scart cable is involved you can use a splitter asnd run a scart to both tv's. |
