    Is there like a really good expensive RF cable that can carry HD signal?

    Cat5/6 cable is the key to HD quality signal with the HDMI extenders, RF just isn't possible to get HD signal. You won't regret going the route I'm advising if you want bang on picture, trust me!!

    hmm
    It is just a hassle to take my HDMI cable out from my box and use the other one and do the same thing downstairs everytime we want to watch downstairs. I guess i cannot have it too easy.
    I will look into it though. Thanks

    How it works is you will have the HDMI splitter in your TV then HDMI cable into your satellite receiver as it is n then a short HDMI cable into the extender then the ethernet cable from the extender to the other extender to the TV you want the picture going to, then that extender plugs into that TV n you get pristine picture quality mate, n you can control the channel using a fone app. Its an ace setup.

    The problem is not the RF cable.
    The tuner out only loops the signal of your cable provider. It does not include the signal your E2 receiver is 'showing'.
    (not like the old VCR's).
    Also, when it does, it's only analog signal. Also when you use a separate RF modulator, it's analog signal. This can never be HD.
    HD is only available in digital signal.

    Yo can use the tuner out to another E2 box and/or a TV-set with dvb-c tuner.
    When you want to see in the other room what's on your E2 box, you need something like HDMI cable, or when you have a Samsung smart tv, you can use Pembo's app.

    hmm ok that sounds ok. Will look into that. Need a lot of cables for that to work tho.
    I do not know why 20m or 50m HDMI cables exist if it would not carry the signal anyway

    It may work mate just using the HDMI cable but they say over 20m the quality starts to degrade, my HDMI extender setup is 60m away so I went that setup with ethernet cable to get best possible quality.

    advice:
    Get a simple E2 box with dvb-c tuner in it (like vu+ solo se), get that box on your network (wired or wireless, wired preferred) and also loop the coax (RF cable) to that box.
    This way you can do it all.
    watch cable on that extra box.
    watch recording from your main box. (over the network)
    watch satellite using the tuners of your main box. (remotechannelconverter)

    Oh that sounds tempting.
    So if i were to get one of the receivers that abu mentioned.
    I wire up a cable from my xtrend box into the vu solo or tm. And that will allow me to watch channels providing the main box upstairs has a free tuner.
    So basically another box downstairs that can be hooked up permanently and be able to watch any channel the tuner is capable of receiving and making sure that the tuner is not in use.

    All this in HD too aswell?

    If you use remote channel stream converter, there is no direct link between two receivers. It is done over the network.

    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.
