Engima2 Sat boxes with RF out? / Sharing around the house

[sanderson82]

Hi Guys

Wondering if any of you know are there any enigma2 enabled sat boxes which also include an RF out connection allowing the box to be shared around the house? (similar to sly box with magic eye)

If nothing like that is on the market how is everyone sharing their boxes around the house?

I'm aware of openwebif and viewing through a pc/laptop, along with the various android/apple apps available. I've also setup a Rasberry Pi running XBMC and the VU+ plugin, which does work, but only have all the channels have loaded EVERY time I turn the thing on!!

I've also tried various digital senders over the years, mixed results and not something i'd be keen on!

Thanks for your thoughts/comments!

I have TM Twin which has RF that allows me to screen through other TV's in my house.

I use a RF modulator - Scart to Modulator then RF out

Your other option to consider is a 2nd hand AZBox HD Premium - you should get one for well under £100.

The hardware is perfect, with everything you want - hdmi/component/scart/RF/AV. And the quality is as good as anything you can buy nowadays.

But one big disadvantage, you can load an enigma2 image on the AZBox , but it just doesn't work as well as a current top spec enigma2 box like the VU+.

How about using the HDMI out into CAT5/6 distribution situation with Baluns at the ends that you want the signal.. HD picture plus IR!

this may be slightly off the subject but I use the hdmi out for my tv in the front room whare the box is then I use the skart out to run to my bedroom.
if I need to change channel in the bedroom I use my smart phone with the web interface as a remote control.
the av veideo cable only cost about £5


I use scart to phono adapter and use normal phono leads for audio and use cable tv rf lead for the picture

its cheap and works very well
