Afternoon Guys,
Have been trying to find someone who can help me bridge a solution for me wireless needs. At home we have a x86 box with gnu-linux on it and am planning to have a combo card fitted on it. The Co-Ax for the cable TV will terminate on it. From here i will want to transmit these signals to tbe bedroom where i want to install a smaller TV set.
Your requirement is hardware related. You will have to split your rf signal to satisfy both inputs. There will be a drop in signal levels if you use a passive splitter. An active distribution amplifier will cost you a resonable amount depending on its total bandwidth. For a full range, you need an amp. that covers the UHF band well enough as thats the trouble area.
If you plan to watch the same channel simultaneously on both tvs *and* if your combo card has a video-audio out socket then you can connect 2 coax. wires to your second tv's av in socket.
There are rf converters available in the market that convert av signals to VHF for older tvs that did not have av inputs. During the VCR days there used to be av transmitters that tx.ed the signals up to a certain radius.
Regards,
Rony.
