sky+ wireless sender to 2nd tv

Can anyone recommend a wireless AV sender that will enable me to view
Sky+ on a second tv, with good picture / sound clarity? Seen a few at
Argos, Maplin etc but conscious that some are better than others.

Many thanks.

I am using a Thomson Video Sender (round, black thing, VS360) with Sky+ and
it works very well. This is sending a signal from downstairs to an upstairs
bedroom in a modern house.

I am using another Thomson set up from a standard sky system in another
room, which is square shaped and silver and has the number VS470 underneath.
It also works well.

I bought one system in Argos and one on Ebay. I can't recall which way round
tho...

Good luck

Martin.

Could you please tell me briefly how these work?

Presumably your Thomson gadget is broadcasting a signal.

Does the receiving TV have a corresponding gadget to receive or do you just
tune it in using the normal ariel?

Can it broadcast to more than one TV?

I have the AEI Digisenders and they seem good - but a little more expensive
than some makes. See Below.

Presumably your Thomson gadget is broadcasting a signal.

Yes - around 2.4 GHz - Similar to a microwave so whilst in use can affect
the signal.(And wireless networks possibly - but I don't have one, so can't
comment)

Does the receiving TV have a corresponding gadget to receive

Yes.



Can it broadcast to more than one TV?

Yes - I've got 2 receivers upstairs.

They also transmit the remote signal to control the digibox downstairs. 4
channels to help with interference.

the nearest model they have to mine now - With an extra receiver.

Thanks Graham

I have a wireless network so interference would concern me.

Does anyone else have experience of this?

Yes. It hasn't been a problem for me. When I was setting up my wireless
network, I had to change channel to get a better signal, but I think I was
getting a problem with a neighbour's wireless network rather than my two
video senders.

The 'digisender' type devices usually have four channels which they
can transmit on - these loosely map to blocks of three-or-four 'wifi'
channels. You'll need to choose/change your channels carefully to
avoid a clash - which is not impossible but can be hard if, for
example, your neighbours also have wi-fi, or a similar digisender.

The early AEI Digisenders seem to have some kind of "feature"
(AEI strenuously denied it was a fault) that stops the remote control
from working. Something in the sender would get ovewhelmed with
electrical noise (e.g. from the television you had connected it to)
and nothing else would get through. But hopefully this 'feautre' has
been dropped in newer models.
