av sender ?

towzer · 03-12-2007, 16:03

Alright guys an gals

Just invested in sky + and small lcd tv for bedroom.

Thought i would also pay a few extra quid for a wireless av sender (scart type philex)
Any how could someone tell me how they work ie do you put one in sky box and one in tv and is that it ? you have sky in extra room ?

Will i get a clear picture as i would on the main living room telly where the sky box is ?

Cheers in advances

Pretty much that.

Though obviously you can only watch the same channel on both TVs.

Picture quality should be reasonably good. A lot depends on how good a signal you get at the receiver in the bedroom. If there are lots of walls and floors in the way you might get problems.

You also need to watch out if you have wireless broadband (or your near neighbours do) The video sender uses the same frequency band as wireless broadband so there is potential for interference between the two.

Or a wireless doorbell.

Or a wireless phone.

All caused some degree of interference with my video sender.

Picture quality is OK. Not as good as a direct SCART connection but acceptable.

Doesn't that depend how much you paid for it? If you only paid a fiver then it is cheaper than a Magic eye and extended RF cable, cheaper than another Sky box, and cheaper than multiroom.

My wireless router and phone sit happily 18inches apart and have no trouble working. But if I turn on my digisender (which is the other side of the room) the router drops out. This is ok as I only use the sender at night when I watch sky in bed!

Never had any interference from my wireless router. Router and av sender work very happily at the same time. Picture quality on a small screen tv is very good.
