I would like to watch content from my Tivo V6 box in 2 different rooms. I achieved this with my old Tivo box using the scart out and a RF modulator over coax.
I'm now looking at the ESYNIC HDMI Extender and ESYNIC HDMI splitter (The V6 has only one HDMI port) . The two TVs are connected via Cat 5 or Cat 6 (I don't know how to tell the difference, but it was fitted in late 2011) via a gigabit switch.
Given the specification I have noted above, do you imagine this will work well? If the gigabit switch is and issue, I could connect directly using a coupler - what do you think?
FYI: I have tested the connection by temporarily moving a second Tivo box to one of the rooms I'm working on. By linking the two boxes over my network (via the gigabit switch) I can stream full1080p recorded content between the two boxes.
Any thoughts or ideas appreciated...... |
Exactly the set up I have had for around 4 years on my TiVo and works well.
The only difference is my HDMI extender doesn't need power but does need two Cat 5/6 cables the same length to work. Probably all that was available without spending a fortune at the time. I also need to use an IR sender for the remote to work in the other room.
I'm looking to use the same setup when I eventually order a V6, should work the same with the added bonus of ditching the IR sender due to the V6 remote being RF
