Any non sky sat Bose with rf2 out?

IrishHomer

Does anyone know of any non Sky satellite receivers that have rf2 out for sending the viewing to a 2nd tv?

There are none. You have to use a modulator kit like these:

(I'm assuming that you also want remote control facility.)
You may be able to get one locally.

A better product to use would be the Triax Tri-Link. Simply scart your box to the trilink and then u can send a cable around the house in the same way the rf2 works on a sky box. It comes with a little sensor you position in front of the IR receiver on the sat box and away u go..

Can also be used for videos, or UPC boxes and if positioned well can be used to control more than one item,.

i have a freesat box and sky plus box in same main tv location. use modulator for humax. i cannot use humax via magic eye though as it gets interference from the sky remote if someone is using sky box at main location and someone trying to use humax at another location in house.

is there any way around that? thanks

The Technomates (especially their combo ranges) have an inbuilt RF modulator. 6900, 6900 Super, 6902, 7100, 7102 ranges etc.

7102's for example


You can use a SLX Omni Link Kit which does much the same as what a Sky Eye does for A Sky box.

Definetly say the tri-link would be worth a try... strange u are getting intereference from the sky box...make sure you set the rf from the modulator away from the sky box.

No interferene on picture etc. Just that when sky box in use at main location, the magic eye wont work for the humax around the house. whereas if you were sitting in kitchen for example with both humax and sky remotes you can flick around the channels using both remotes no problem as long as no one using the sky box at main location.

i was using a global tv link plus . i now dont bother with magic eye for humax but can view it fine throughout the house using the rf modulator.

Global Link was never designed to send around other boxes other than sky ...i reckon if you take it out of the equation and replace your modulator with a tri-link it mite sort your prob

Send me a pm and I can tell u where to get in Limk...

thanks, so this will allow me to have the sky box and freesat box at same location and the remote control use of both boxes at same time at all locations wont be effected?

I'll probably have to leave getting one of these for a while as I only got an rf modulator from maplin which cost 29.99 about two months ago and its working fine albeit I am not using the freesat box thru magic eyes at moment..


cheers

For the record, that's exactly what I linked to so I don't understand your post.
