does any one know if these products are suitable for home viewing on a new skybox - if so does it mess up the quality
or does the sky box have to be interferred with??

You plug it into one of the SCART sockets on the back of the box, no modifying needed. Video quality is acceptable on the one I use here.

It does not allow you to watch two different channels at once, though.

Yes it is just a 2.4GHz video sender. In some cases Wifi and Video senders interfere with each other. Resiteing or chaning channel helps.

The Video sender works with ANYTHING, MP3 players, PC, Audio only, Video cameras, PS2, Xbox, PC video out, VHS or DVD palyer etc.

Different brands usually interoperate. There are 4 channels A B C D.

A single non-changable reverse channel carries almost any IR remote signal from the video receiver back to the transmitter. Just use original Sky / DVD / VHS etc remote.

Can someone explain what "75 omega aerial output (receiver)" means? I'm hoping it will allow me to take the output from a digibox and combine it with an aerial feed in the attic to distribute the decoded sky channel around the house.

Ha ha 75 omega aerial output. I'd reckon thats supposed to read 75ohm aerial output. Standard coax connection. I could be wrong though,I've never used these before.

It would be better to feed Aerial into RF in on Digibox and then run cable from RF2 out to distribution amp or splitters for other TVs. Cheaper.

But yes if the Video sender has a 75 Ohym RF out you can use it as a wireless connection backup into attic and use a Y adaptor to combine aerial and RF Out.

Definately not the best way though.

isnt the greek letter omega the symbol for ohms?? idiots!:D

Hehe, this is true! Ω

watty

and small letter omega (looks like w) stands for 2 x Pi x frequency (Pi =anonther geek letter)

I'd say the opposite, at least they knew what the letter was, they mighn't have known what it was representing in this case. What percentage of the general public would know that Ω is a Greek letter, let alone which one?

watty

If you exclude Mathematicians and Real Engineers, very very few. Likewise small omega (w).

Uncle Grueber

Excuse my ignorance, and slightly off-topic, but can someone please tell me if when using one of these senders to send an ntl: analogue feed to another tv, are all the channels accessible through the remote control of that other tv?

watty

You use the NTL remote.
The IR led of the video sender sits in front of NTL box.

All the NTL channels are on the Remote TV's SCART or single video sender RF channel.

The separate often poor quality analog channels would need a coax feed.

The video sender only carries one channel, whatever is on the SCART or composite video feeding it.
