Tv senders
Hi esteemed crowd,
I have finally ditched what was left of my sky and gone to iptv, and i can honestly say I am impressed. Initially I went with a local firm who gave me internet and iptv, via a mag 250 box, this is great with excellent epg.
Whilst in the uk I bought a kit kat android box with all the kit, camera, key board etc. this is more difficult to use, but I linked xbmc to my iPad and that's great.
I am still fumbling along getting used to it all but so far I am impressed with the picture quality and the range of free films I can watch, no more DVDs for me.
Anyway the question is: I used to send the signal from my living room tv with sky box to all other TVS in the house, so we could go to bed and finish watching something etc. Well is there a way of sending an iptv signal around the house? I use an hdmi lead.
Regards
Al

Re: Tv senders
Well given most of the live TV content on the internet systems will not be in HD, then running HDMI cables and HDMI splitters around the house is pointless.
Unless you want to watch the "stored" content, in which case you will need a HDMI splitter box, and run the cable from the box to the required locations.
As far as I know there are not transmitters that can send the HD output so cable it is.
But the mag250 boxes do have an AV output, so you can use the correct AV to component (yellow, white, red) cable to connect the mag box to a AV sending system...assuming the AV system you currently have uses the component cables.
