I have a TV in the guest house and running a hard wire is not what I want to do. I want to view standard analog cable TV in the guest house. My TV in the guest house will just use the coaxil connection and the TV will use its own tuner for channel switching (no cable box). Is there a way to send this signal from the main house to the guest house wireless? What should I buy to do this??

Thanks for the help,

Derek

Well there's two ways you can go about that:

1. is to buy this complete system from best buy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....9&type=product


the other is to buy this from radio shack http://www.radioshack.com/product.a...%5Fid=15%2D2572 and a VCR that has an IR extender port. Here's what you'd do that way:


Plug the cable signal into the VCR.

Plug rca cables (yellow white red) from the output of the vcr to the input of the transmitter.

Plug a mini cord from the remote output of the VCR to the imput IR imput of the transmitter.


Plug the receiver using rca cables from the output to video inputs on your 2nd TV.

Buy an antenna.

Thanks Bgall!


I was hoping there would be a system that has Coaxil so that my TV can be the tuner. Does one of these exist.


Mr.Poindexter, that would work if there were an antenna that could pick up every Cable Channel. However, I think an antenna of that type would be quite expensive and quite illegal.

If you check out www.partexpress.com you'll find a couple different wireless video senders, one from Lorex and one from recoton, both around $100.

Sorry, I didn't see the cable in the standard analog cable tv, so I thought, "Duh! Use an antenna" when in reality it was a little more complex than that.


You will need a way to send the IR back to the base - I assume that functionality is built into the system?

if you could send a full bandwidth signal to the guest house, where the tv in the guest house could tune to whatever channel it desired, without a dish, then how would direct tv be in business?

Hes just talking about analog cable here, not DBS.

I don't know of any practical solution to your problem. Can you tell us why you don't want to run a coax over there? Have you considered burying it?

i got that. i am just skeptical. if telephone wire, for instance, does not have enough bandwidth to carry cable tv (r6 coax required) then how could an infrared product have sufficient bandwidth to do this?

I would also say bury it. The cable that came into my house from the street was only buried less than an inch deep, it worked fine for 20+ years(whenever they installed it) until I uncovered it with a rototiller this summer. When I replaced the line to the street I put the cable in plastic conduit, which cost .98 cent per 10 foot section ( I didn't want to stick a shovel through it accidentally ). If you just remember where you buried it should be fine for many years with just the cable in the ground

Just put that tiny little orange flag with the 'buried cable' sign on it.

The idea is to use a transmitter to send a composite video signal to the remote location. Selecting the signal would be accomplished with a remote control, with its signal sent back to the transmitter/tv demod.
