View Full Version : Reverse Distribution Amp?

Is there such a thing?

What I mean is that I have 3 sat boxes (and a normal aerial) that I wish to send to a single television on another floor in the property.

So its the reverse of what most people want to do - ie most people want to take a single sat/cable box and ditribute it around the property.

Does that make sense?

You trying to hook all 4 in via RF?
I think you'd need a switch box, as otherwise the signals will all be on the same channel and will interfere with one another.

Hi

I have set them all at different rf frequencies via the menus on each sat box.

Okay let me try and explain exactly what my set up is.

I have (all on one floor in my house)

Tv aerial in
Protek Sat Box
Humax Sat Box
Dreamlink Sat Box
Sky Plus Sat Box
Sky HD Sat box

Obviously the tv aerial can go in any box via the rf in.

So I want a box that will take the rf out from each device - and send it to tv's on another floor - these boxes will be watched at the same time on different tv's downstairs.

I think that is pretty much how the distribution system works in hotels that have Cable or Sky, so it must be possible (but probably not cheap)

EDIT: Actually, thinking about it, assuming you have already managed to pick RF frequencies that are far enough apart that they are not interfering, can you not just daisy chain the RF inputs and outputs from the devices?

Then the final output can be fed up to remote TV from the Sky box that has two RF outputs.

Should work I would have thought.
