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

    Ok this is difficult question to word.

    Basically i have ordered the xtrend 10000 with 2 satellite tuners and 2 cable tuners.
    The cables are in my room on the second floor where the box will live. I will receive HD channels via the cable feeds.
    I will loop tuner c to tuner d so that i can watch 1 cable channel and record another.
    My question is:

    Is it possible to loop the signal out from tuner d and into my tv downstairs. This is because we do not have HD downstairs and on weekends, we like to watch the football all together in the living room.
    My tv is a sony lcd tv with an antenna in cable port. So if i connect an RF extension cable or something from tuner D from my box upstairs and connect it to the antenna cable into the downstairs tv, will that mean the signal will be displayed downstairs and we can all watch downstairs.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thanks

    Loop out = sends same signal as what is coming in.

    If you want to watch the same channel as what is on the box by using an RF cable, you must ensure that you have an rf modulator on your device. (Andy_Hazza will be here to say that this poor in a minute ) I dont think those tuners have this.

    If you have an E2 reciver downstairs, you can use the RemoteChannelStreamConverter plugin.

    Go for the HDMI extender over cat5/6, f**k RF out mate. You will get proper HD quality too instead of the shitty signal RF will send!!

    hmmm

    Well i do not exactly know what type of loop the cable tuners will have with the xtrend 100000.?

    But i woudnt mind leaving the box on upstairs if that is what is needed in order to send the signal downstairs. So i will have to get an RF modulator. Can you fit this on boxes? Where would i get it from?
    Also, i do not have an enigma 2 receiver downstairs. Just some rubbish f3 box.

    hmm
    But that will mean i have to keep removing the HDMI cables from my box and the one downstairs whenever we want to do that. The problem is my TV downstairs only has two ports.

    This can work.
    Personally I think this is very expensive cable.
    I mostly make my own. 1,00 euro /m and 2 good connectors 4,50 euro each.

    Ohh, I understand you don't want to use the dvb-c tuner on the TV set?
    That's not what I suggest.

    Well i would like to believe it would work. I do not care about the price that much but i am just hoping it will actually carry the signal well and in HD too. Using a splitter is a bit tricky and i remember buying one for the downstairs tv and it didnt work properly.

    hmm ok thanks for letting me know that. Guess that idea was a flop.
    Yh that looks interesting what you posted.
    But i have seen on amazon you can get arouund 20m HDMI cables. That should be sufficient length from my room into the living room. If i just connect one end to my box and the other straight into the TV downstairs. Will that work?
