sending saorview signal to other TV

    Friend of mine has a CRT Tv upstairs with an indoor ariel/booster and with a 50 euro saorview box can get the saorview channels including tv 3 which he could not get with analogue.

    Is there a cheap video sender that could send that signal to a 32 inch flatscreen Tv downstairs? The downstairs TV is not a saorview enabled............ i think I am beginning to realise the answer is no the downstairs TV could not decode the signal. Right?

    No. You will have to get another box for the 32in tv.

    The video sender takes the decoded signal from the Saorview box scart output & sends it to the receiving unit at the other end, so no need for another Saorview decoder. This receive unit connects to the remote tv via another scart lead & you can view whatever the Saorview box is tuned to & change channels too.

    If the downstairs tv has an aerial feed, you could probably tap into this for a wired connection fed from a modulator connected to the Saorview box, or . . . just get another Saorview box.

    I'd advise another box. The output of the video sender /modulator will look poor on a 32inch, a friend of mine has a combo box in a different room to the big TV and uses a modulator to feed it into the room with the big TV, the result is fairly poor. If you then go spending money to improve the picture, you may as well spend it on a Saorview box

    Or get something like the Ferguson T65 Mini unit. Have a look at www.ferguson-digital.eu

    Thanks for all the info. Here is the box he has. I am trying to help set it up and neither of us are very knowledgeable with TV.

    It takes a few secs to change channel say from RTE1 to 2 it shows searching. But I seem to have it lockked to channel 1 is on 1 on the remote etc.

    Also when turned on I have to use the old tv remote and press avi before it will start

    Another box for the 2nd tv would be best, but it would need an aerial feed. There's no guarantee an indoor aerial will work at a different location, even in the same house.

    Does the house have any tv aerial points fitted, or cables coming out of the walls? What part of the country are you in?
