Due to poor digital terrestrial signal, we've fairly recently set up a dish connected to a Bush Freesat box (excellent product, Annie loved watching Wimbledon in HD ).
We're close to inhabiting our recently-converted loft bedroom, and were wondering about a video sender to enable us to get a TV signal up there. >> This << gets suspiciously rave reviews on the site, but I was wondering about the statement: So if you're forever having arguments in your house because the big match is on Sky Sports, but your other half refuses to miss their favourite soap and is already happily settled on the sofa in the living room, then the Wireless TV Sender will save the day.
I got the impression it will only transmit what is being shown on the telly downstairs, and can't be used to show two different programs in two different places. To do that, I presume we'd need another sat box? The Bush box has an In and Out F-connector for LNB signal, so could I slave the second box off the first using that?
Installing a terrestrial aerial would involve considerable cost - it need to be mounted very high to get a half-decent signal. Cabling another LNB output from the dish isn't really on either.
1.. I have never found the wireless senders to be 100% reliable, to many things can affect them.. And yes you will only watch what is on the receiver, you cannot change chanels without it affecting the main TV.
2. If you slave off another sat receiver from the IF out you will NOT get all the channels on the second box if the first is switched on.. The first sat box in line will control the polarity and hi/lo band.
3. The way to do it is a multi outlet lnb on the dish, most common being a 4 way quad lnd, as used with Sky plus. Then take a seperate cable down to the other room and install another receiver...
Quite correct, what you are watching downstairs will be the same upstairs!
You cannot get two different channels out of the same digi-box, you need another one.
However if you had a TV upstairs with built in freeview, all you need is to do plug an aerial lead into it. Use a Y splitter in the aerial input socket downstairs and run another cable upstairs.
I guess it's the same program for us, then It's not really worth doing the quad LNB thing for the occasional time we want to watch different things in different parts of the house.
When I upgraded my Crankup for Sky HD I bought a quad LNB with 10m of cable and connectors for £19 off Ebay. If your dish is accessible, it's a very easy DIY job to replace the LNB and run another cable into another room.
Good point, Derek. Thank you.
The dish is a short step ladder above a deck (although Annie wishes it were around the corner, where it would be a long ladder above the ground ), and for that money, it might be worth doing it. The cable would go up through a soffit, into an upstairs storage area (we call it a "walk-in wardrobe" ), up into the teeny tiny loft, and then down one of the stud walls where there is a convenient wall box. AND we have a spare old Sky box sitting around doing nothing.
