    Connect HD51 to modulator

    Also would like to know if the av can be connected to a hdmi modulator from WOS then connect that to my 6 way booster in loft. Have found a 4 pole jack to 3 rca connectors but the modulator only has 2 f plugs and hdmi. And where do you connect the hdmi too.

    If it's the HDMI modulator on the site, then you would connect the HDMI out from the device (STB or DVD player or whatever) to the modulator and then feed the remote TV via coax out from the modulator. The output is DVB-T so will feed any standard digital TV tuner. The benefit over an older analogue modulator is that the output can be full HD.
    I don't think the modulator on the WoS site has facility for AV in - only HDMI in.
    It's a bit expensive for feeding just one other TV - might suit a installation where you want a single feed to many TVs. An alternative if feeding just one TV would be to get a basic E2 receiver with no tuners and use CAT5 cable to network it with the main STB.

    Have purchased a Mut@nt HD51 and it has a av socket at rear no HDMI out and want it to feed a 8 tv booster in loft so all tvs receive the same channel. I am using a analogue modulator at moment with a scart connection to the Vu+Duo2 scart want to replace with Mut@nt HD51 which has no scart.

    The HDMI wire goes in to that port.
    The HDMI signal from STB goes out of that port.

    Does the HDMI modulator have more HDMI ports?

    Did you not get the AV out cable with the Mutant? Looks like a headphone end on one side. Not the best picture though.

    So is there no way i can use my Mut@nt HD51 like my Vu+Duo2 to distribute satellite tv to my 8 way booster in loft using any analogue or digital device.

    You're misunderstanding the purpose of the HDMI modulator. It takes a HDMI feed from the STB (in your case the HD51) and distributes it to other TVs via a coax connection. The AV plug in your last post may work into a conventional SCART/AV modulator but not into this particular one. The F sockets on the modulator are for a terrestrial aerial feed input and the output to whatever TVs you are feeding. A separate cheap STB with no tuners could take a stream from your main HD51 over CAT 5 cable or possibly WiFi if your router supports it. This would be more flexible than the HDMI modulator which limits you to viewing whatever is tuned on the HD51.

    As regards the AV port on the HD51, I've never seen it referenced in the ViX setup. I don't know if it works on a ViX image as I've never tried it. It's a bit redundant on a HD/UHD receiver as composite AV is very low quality. That said, my other two receivers (GB Quad+ and MB Twin) support simultaneous output from HDMI/Component and Composite or SCART.

    The F sockets on the modulator are for RF (radio frequency) signals. AV feeds are baseband analogue and are not RF, so no chance of feeding them into those F sockets.
