Pretty sure I saw such a thing in Maplins a couple of weeks ago. Can't tell you sweet FA about them though.

I know people that have done this - I don't have one so cannot comment and I'm not sure whether this is the right way of doing it - I got this from Google at random.
But I do know (having worked with Sky) that this is possible.

so, any other ideas ?
shame. video senders are out then. well, that's saved me £50 in testing a theory...
the point of having different channels is so that Mrs Gus can be in the kitchen watching Corrie while she's making my tea, and while I'm watchign Men & Motors on the big screen ...
any other ways of getting a regular aerial connection through to the other room without installing a cable ?

If you just want to use the tuner on the tv but get better reception then something like this will sort you out

gus: Well, I've not tried that, I only tend to have one TV on at a time. I recon it only transmits the channel selected, so I guess all the TVs would be showing the same thing. I'll try it later.
Just remembered I had fun getting one of the sat boxes to play nicely so had to modify the receiver part of the tranmitter a bit so the IR could work back to that sat box. So it might be worth checking if it works with your set up (should work with Philips stuff obviously, and I know it works with Sky stuff as well), or get ready with a soldering iron and UV LEDs.

... does your set-up enable your tvs to show different channels at the same time?
is my understanding of the wirless transmitters correct - that they broadcast the selected channel, not the whole spectrum?

Mr Crosby
I'm tied to Telewest I'm afraid. No Sky for me ...

Very good Franko, and yes, I do have an answer to this as I had the self same problem: I have some Philips wireless link boxs (VL1400): a transmitter that takes four SCARTs, so can get both satellite boxes, DVD, and VHS in, and little receivers dotted around with each TV. It's kinda two way so you can also use the remote controls remotely. Switching the microwave on blows it out of the water, and forget about wireless networking.

Originally posted by gusIs there a wireless device that will replace the aerial cable, and get all channels to the conservatory?
Is there any other solution? Any ideas?
However, have a look around the AV forums. There's a lot of info. Have you looked up the Philips wireless transmittors? They seem to work with Sky too (allegedly, never tried).
