cctv rf modulator wiring and apollo hd dvr?

[crow 0]

hi

going to get one of these

http://www.maplin.co.uk/programmable-universal-modulator-33050

to send cctv cameras to all tv's in the house

never used one before

and also need to know before i buy one, wheather the apollo hd 4 and 8 channel (slim one's) can work with the hdmi output and also the bga output at the same time(conect hd tv to dvr and have bga out to other tv's)

 

do i wire as follows

bga out from dvr to a bga to phono adaptor on the other end of cable

' then into the rf modulator labled video

then unplug the rf out 2 cable from my tv upstairs (coming from sky box)

and plug it into the rf modulator (ant in)( on this maplin one)

and then from the rf modulator socket that says (to tv)(maplin one)

back into my tv

 

hope this makes sense

thanks

Hi. no that modulator will not work for you (not from sky) 1 is digital the other is analog. ........... this is why you are seeing cheap modulators in the uk. we have gone total digital.

 

you can still use the one listed but only via arial .... but not all new TV will see the signal. your tv has to have the old VHF band

hi tom

do you know what will be a good way to sent dvr out to new tv's

 

if the tv still has the uhf 21 to 69 band

will i have to have the analog modulator down stairs then put in the areal in then back out to the tv

 

cheers

no that will only allow you to view on that 1 tv. if you want DVR on all tvs then you would have to do it before your distribution box (amplifier)

 

arial -- modulator -- distribution box----- out to all TVs ..... but this will only work on TVs that can switch to VHF
