video sender
 

Apologies if this has been asked on this group before and more
apologies for being a bit technically challenged.

I've just bought a video sender and receiver from Aldi and am very
impressed. The wife can now watch sky in the kitchen and gets a
brilliant picture. Thing is, I'd also like to watch sky in the bedroom
- is it possible to run 2 receivers from the one transmitter? If so
where can you buy receivers from?

Cheers

Yes.

Well, the likeliest place would have been to have bought 2, when you purchased
the first one.

Lidl Their offers usually come round again after 6 months or so.

Sorry, I obviously didn't make myself clear. I bought a package from
Aldi that included 1 transmitter and 1 receiver. What I would like to
do now is buy an extra receiver without buying a package again.

You can have as many receivers as you like but have you considered using a
coax connection from the 'RF out' of your Sky box to your bedroom TV? It's
simple, cheap and you can add a gizzmo to change channels from the
bedroom......

I've tried that in the past but the picture wasn't that good - just
used a splitter, no signal booster.

I just thought as the picture is so good from the video sender that I
could just get another receiver for the bedroom; no cable to run,
simple to set up. But I can't find where to buy one from. S'pose I
could buy another set and not use the transmitter but it seems a bit
daft that you can't just buy the receivers - at least not from anywhere
I've looked

Phol: Quite: You will get stereo sound via the 2.4GHz link (various makes
available - Maplins do them separately quite often, Different channels are
available - on dip switches or by other means.
It may be cheaper to by a 'pair' than singly 8-)
Also, if you want to distribute another picture, another transmitter is
useful - eg Camera - and just 'switch channels' as you wish at the
receiver (easier with the Stealth units which have remotes - also the 4
input Philips does (at higher price)

Thanks Phil. Looks like I'll be buying another 'pair' then. Oh, well -
at least Aldi were selling them off for about 25 quid the other day so
not too bad

Phil: The first pairs I bought were about 160ukp a pair - five or six
years ago. 4 Channels are available - and it is best to be consistant on
make - o/w the channels may be marked/selected in a different order
(confusing), and the audio phase may be different on (1) channel -
resulting in cancelation rather than double sound output.
To comply with licencing/EC regs, the video MUST be used - do not use them
to send audio only (if you do - feed in a video signal from somewhere)

You can buy a single receiver here

for £40... so Aldi's price for the pair is cheaper, if correct. Seems
unbelievably cheap tho....
