rf loop out to antenna cable onto a TV???

Best you borrow a receiver from someone and test RCSC. There wasn't any lag when I last tested it.

Hmm ok I have a vu duo upstairs in my brothers room. Does it have to be an enigma 2 receiver?

[Andy_Hazza]

Duo is an enigma 2 receiver.
You do know you will go with the HDMI extenders...... Eventually!!! lol

Well the HDMI is probably the best but is limited in that when we do want to watch the football downstairs, my box upstairs is occupied the whole time. Wander if the HDMI in function on the xtrend will be useful in anyway?

Probably about 1 second delay here using RCSV over homeplugs, works flawlessly though.

hmm really?

So with this plug in, you can use the remote to watch any channels through the main receiver. How does the channel list work and is there a long delay between changing channels?
Also, i have zyxel 500mbs homeplugs. That fast enough?

When you install the plugin on the client receiver. You select the server receiver and which bouquets to import. They will be just like the bouquets on your receiver in terms of how you select chanenls etc.

hmm ok will definitely look into it. Is my homeplug speed sufficient for HD?

[joysleep1]

You can use the network to watch what's on the main box or recordings what's on the main box.
When you have a dvb-c tuner in the second box and connected with coax, you can watch cable directly on your second box.

so when you say this peter and if it is done this way, all cable channels can been viewed on the second box providing the main receiver can ??

[electrocop]

Using the co-ax from the loop out of one receiver to a DVB-C tuner in a second receiver would be like another tuner loop-out connection as previously discussed in one of your other threads. The second receiver would then be able to tune independently to all available cable channels. You would of course need a valid viewing card for the second receiver if you want to watch premium channels.

Yes, those plugs should be fast enough.
The remote on the local receiver works using the RCSV created bouquets.
No major delays in changing channels, maybe up to a second for live TV.

Oh thanks judge.
I'll give that a go. So with the remote steaming option. It is only using the home network to receive the signal. So it's just the wifi that's needed. Does the receiver on the other end have to have a cable tuner if you want to stream a cable channel from the main receiver?

[joysleep1]

When i meant Wifi. I mean home network. I do not plan on using usb wifi sticks. But i think i may have a problem with the upstairs homeplug because that is connected to an extension outlet. This will drop the bandwith speed. I have not tested how much i get on there with speedtest.net but i do not thing i will get my 72mb down and 18mb upload. What would be the sufficient bandwidth to stream HD or play HD recordings?

[Andy_Hazza]

8mb onwards would be suffice mate, you'll get that with your homeplugs or better still get ethernet cable drill out down outside wall n drill back in to where your receiver will be, hard wired all the way!!!

Yh i was thinking about getting some wiring done to get a a cat 6 eithernet cable outfrom my room going through my parents room, outside the window and going into the loft window. But i do not know how durable these cables are outdoors and if they are waterproof. ?

[Andy_Hazza]

They durable mate, withstand most weathers we encounter here in the UK, I have had mine done a good 5 years now n still looking good visibly tbh.
Just check where you buy from n make sure its a good quality one n all will be good buddy.
