[kaisar1]

hi, my parents want a satellite receiver in there living room which they can operate from there bedroom upstairs, similar to a magic eye.

is there something similar available?

thanks.

An AV sender will do a similar job.

The Triax Tri link will turn any satellite receiver with or without an RF modulator into a Magic Eye capable receiver, Thats if your looking at using cable if not then Bulldog has suggested a good option

[ramjet]

global plus omni link will work with the eye, or the blueblaster, or the one from m@plins

no there arent any boxes that do it built in like sly boxes

would an av sender change channel and operate the satellite receiver? and how would it connect?

Yes and scart usually, plus there will be an IR emitter that needs to be stuck on near the sat receivers IR sensor

Hi. Very easy to install and work brilliantly. I have installed a few of A/V senders for a number of people with motorized systems. I have one as well which allows me to control channels and motor from any room i want. You can watch satellite tv from any room you want including garden, patio etc etc. If you buy one make sure you get one with scart adapter to connect to your receiver. I have not installed one for over 5 years so not sure what is available at the moment. The ones i installed were made by AEI Communications and were very good and still working fine today. Recommended for anyone who wishes to watch satellite tv from more than one room.

Regards.

You can get HDMI/HD video senders, but they were still expensive last time I checked @ over ?100 for the cheapest...

Hi. I have never tried them on a HD box but i dont see why it should not work as all the A/V senders do is transmit an image from one tv to another. Maybe an HD expert will able to clarify your query.

i was thinking if using scart it would be sd only,it would be a pity to lose out in quality.

HI. I see your point as HD boxes use HDMI leads if thats what you mean. I am sure you can get A/V senders for HD signals. Anything is possible in this day and age. Like i said they come in handy if you want to watch football etc in your bedroom or kitchen or garden etc.

Cheapest HD A/V sender i have seen is ?145 it would be cheaper to run another coax cable from the dish and put a HD receiver in than use one of those

Hi. I only paid about 40 pounds for A/V senders - mind you this was about 5 years ago. Problem with a second receiver is moving it around from room to room. With A/V you can connect and disconnect it to any tv you want and you dont have to worry about extra cables etc.
