    Not really the best forum but I don't see a general forum so...

    Im looking for a wireless device to place downstairs that brodcasts the NTL (not digital) channels upstairs to two separate TVs. Anyone have a link to where I can purchase such a system.?

    Thanks!!!:)

    I have a Philips wireless TV transmitter link with two receivers. From memory I think I bought it on Amazon. Works pretty well but from time to time is subject to interference and seems to depend on a number of factors to get a perfect picture. Solid walls, ceilings/floors can break the signal down somewhat and we've also found our wireless broadband and microwave interferes with the signal too.

    The link allows up to four feeds to be transmitted so we have the TV, DVD player and used to have the video hooked up. Overall relatively happy with the purchase but bear in mind you can't watch two different programmes off the same feed.

    Hope that helps

    Are you saying that if there is only one feed used for say NTL channel that both receivers have to watch the same channel? But I thought it would transmit the whole spectrum? Is the way around this to use a separte feed for each receiver?

    You don't have a link handy? Thanks for your help btw

    Yes, it outputs one AV channel, usually via Scart.

    What you seem to be suggesting is something that would transmit the whole UHF or VHF band, which would be illegal, particularly as you'd be rebroadcasting NTL's cable system.

    If its over license except frequencies Im sure it isn't but it may contradict copyright. It just may not be very possible to do or very expensive.

    I can see what you mean though.

    It doesn't look like there is a solution out there for what Im looking for :(

    Thanks anyway:)

    Hi All,

    Does anyone have a link to a product that does this? I'm having issues googling the product I actually need - I just need something that can plug into a basic tv point in one room, and plug into a tv in a room across the hall and allow basic cable channel flicking :).

    Thanks!
