Distribution Amps
I am currently planning cabling for my new house and I want a cinema room in the cellar and the living room on the first floor to have Sky available from one box. I believe my best bet is to have a distribution amp but I am not sure as to what my requirements might be....
Kit layout should be as follows: Cellar - projector, amp, dvd player, sky box /FTV only( Living room - tv, amp, dvd recorder, sky, cd player(s) I want to be able to watch Sky downstairs (the football/no mirror sub) and control Sky and the dvd recorder from upstairs and downstairs. I don't want to use a wireless videosender as my wireless lan interferes wtih the signal. I also would like to pipe the B output of my amp to >1 other room and connect speakers there. I would anticipate having a wall switch in those rooms to turn off the speakers. What am I looking at getting and does anyone have any product endorsements? Thanks

I would personally suggest that you go for a video sender if you are going to be using it in a home cinema because it will be a much better quality as video senders use the SCART connection rather than RF. |

If youre dead against using a video sender (and StuL is right, it would be the best option) you could use a skylink "magic eye" such as this: http://www.satelliteonline.co.uk/tv_link_large.htm
You would have to run an RF cable to control the sky box upstairs, but you could run a higher quality video feed down into the cellar; s-video, composite or RGB. This won't let you control the dvd recorder in the other room, but I see you have another dvd player in the cellar, so why would you need to? |
