Anyone Reccomend Good AV Sender for Standard UPC Box?

sonic.trip

I started a thread a few weeks ago about how I couldn't get any signal on new TV for my bedroom. It turned out the analogue singal from UPC wasn't switched on and would have to pay 3.50 a month if I wanted it switched on or 5 quid a month for the multiroom.

I went to order the multiroom today and realised it wasn't even the standard set top box I had it was just the digital (8.80 pm if you want the Digital +). On top of this the signal is a little dodgy and freezes for a second every 20 mins or so.

Anyway to save myself a small fortune of getting UPC to come out and give me a new point and the monthly charges, I was thinking it would be a whole lot easier if someone knows of or is using a good wireless AV sender so I can keep the living room box downstairs and have tv upstairs!

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated

Your better off just paying the extra fiver. Av senders don't allow you to watch different programs.

You could use a Triax Tri-Link to send the signal upstairs and u can control the box up there via a magic eye in the same way a skybox works.

However you will only have the same channel up there but u should be able to run the analog cable up as well if you know what your doing.

Was under the impression AV senders don't work on UPC boxes at all but here's a strange one.....have a Nikai 5.8ghz sender/receiver attached to a Sky box, works a treat....there's also a UPC box downstairs, it's not connected to the AV sender but will still send the tv signal to an upstairs tv when the Sky box is switched off (tv downstairs must be switched on to do this)

Did you get a answer to this? have Sky Multiroom and want to change to UPC but dont want cables running all around the house, was looking for something just to send up stations to second TV....any idea's?

I understand that is the case with UPC HD boxes -
When HDMI is connected to the TV the SCART output on the box goes dead so cannot be used for videosenders (or VCRs, DVD recorders etc)!

Big Nelly,

The Wireless HDMI you linked to is probably not suitable in your case. If you already have a cable running to each room for Sky multiroom and you want to switch to UPC multiroom then UPC can try to re-use the Sky cables in place already.

Using a cable is always preferable over wireless.
