Tech question

Is there such a thing as a device that takes the place of the coax
that connects the LNB to the satellite TV receiver? (Thus removing any
need for drilling, installing long pieces of coax, spending money on a
sat engineer).

Many thanks in advance

er, NO !.

I daresay one could make a sender in the head end, but the bigger problem is
getting the signalling and more importantly the power up to the LNB, which
is effectively the first stage of the receiver.

The closest you are going to get is putting the sky box where the
cable enters the house and then using a wireless video sender /
controller. Though I have to say that the quality of the picture over
such a sender is in my experience pretty crap.

Depending on your DIY skills a 'sat engineer' is optional.

Blimey, you don't want much do you!


Maybe you could build yourself a little room in a packing crate and suspend
it from the wall outside where you could watch the tv directly connected to
the dish?

Naw, just hang the TV outside the window in a big polythene bag then you can
stay in the warm.

Hook it up to the mains externally if you have overhead wires.

Fibre connection from (PPM, Ortel and others) would give one-way
signal up to L Band. Some modules can power LNB's but they are
expensive at £2+ per link.

Should have been "K".
Search for L Band over fibre (fiber in US).
Dynamic range is adequate for TV signals. Fibre itself is cheap and
the distance can be many 100's of meters.

£2 is pretty cheap! Did you mean two thousand/hundred/million/other pounds
or really just two?
