Recommend a video sender

uclown2002 · 08-03-2006, 14:47

Hi

I have a Samsung STB in bedroom and wish to use a video sender to send signal to adjacent bedroom. It will be only used to send the cable tv channel and not for any other devices.

STB has a spare scart socket, so no problem there. TV in other bedroom is connected to a vcr via scart lead. Only one scart socket on tv and vcr so no free ones left. If I buy a video sender kit, would I have to remove existing scart lead (attached to vcr) every time I want to use it or is there a scart splitter or some other way around it?

I'd be grateful for a reasonably priced kit that will do the job for me, I guess I'm looking to pay Ã‚Â£50-80, perhaps a little more if need be.

Thanks.

Dave

I see argos do scart blocks to connect multiple cables to 1 scart socket; so I've answered that question.

Would http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/5342608.htm this work OK?

Samsung STB Model No: SMT-2100C

have you tried this out and is it any good - thinking of getting one to replace my 2nd stb upstairs and I must of paid for it a 100 times over by now

Yes, I've got one of those but I don't use it that much anymore, the picture quality is good but not as good as being connected directly to the STB and I've heard one or two stories of problems with interference from wireless routers (if you have one) but it was OK with mine.

You can have mine for Ã‚Â£40 if you want?

I have my Sender using the TV. Aerial in via a
simple RF splitter in the aerial socket ?!?

T'aint Scart quality but works well enough
given the amount of time it's actually USED

I've already gone out and bought it. It works fine (slight interference occasionally but nothing to be too concerned about). I had to put receiver in kitchen as I can't manually find AV channel upstairs.
So I have bought an aerial converter to use via RF; will be here in a few days.
I'm not able to change ntl channel from other room as channel spontaneously changes when I plug infra-red device in. Not bothered though.
