Digital Radio question

Tallspoon

I would like to get digital radio in my kitchen, away from the reciever box which is in the living room. Can anyone please advise me. I am thinking of connecting a cable into my digibox 'out' socket to my kitchen and then plugging the other end of the cable into a DAB radio. I could then listen to my beloved BBC digital radio stations available on my sky box in another room without needing to turn the TV on. I know that to change to a new station I must use my digibox.
Has anyone done this?

Signals from satelite and Dab signals are not the same thing.
They are completely different.

You would get as good a result by connecting your Dab radio up to the back of your fridge...

Thats if I get you right and you think that you will be able to receive Dab radio by hooking your radio to your digibox somehow.

Tell you what you could do though.
Get a video sender and hook that to your digibox.
Put the receive digisender in your kitchen and get a scart to phono lead and just connect the phono leads into any hifi system in the kitchen.

Then on aux on your hifi you can listen to any channel you have tuned on your digibox and change the channels from the kitchen aswell.

Simple

DAB radio nothing to do with it.

You can either use a cable (on the L & R rca connections) to a hiFi (optionally a wireless remote extender), or a Wireless Video sender with PC speakers or MP3 player speakers connected. Video not needed. The Sky remote will work. Add a 6" LCD monitor / DVD player or TV to see Sky guide if you like.

If you just want mono, then use the RF2 out and coax cable to a small LCD TV and sky remote eye with a larger external speaker (PC Speaker etc) plugged in.

Only the looped through TV aerial signal has stereo on the RF (Nicam). ALL modulators (VHS, Sky, DVD, Playstation, XBox, Cable box) only do mono.

Illegal.

Also anything illegal can't be posted on the forums.

There's also the Sky Gnome product. You connect one bit to your digibox and then the other bit is just like a portable radio with a display showing the EPG info for the station you are listening to. I believe that future versions of the digibox will be Gnome ready so you won't need the sender bit. Costs about £70 I believe.

Earlier version of Gnome have been unreliable. A video sender is from €59. Argo, Maplin and many other sources.
