u connect directly without Balun? i thought the impedance between the RCA and Cat5E are different? anyway... since got real working case.. great...

Where can I buy an additional Beyond Remote Control? Only from Astro?

i think you should take converter better

they're made out of the same material inside not meh? copper mah.. since mine works far better than the RCA -> Coax converter.. it's like the decoder is in my bedroom connected directly using RCA.. LOL!

Yeah, it's still copper but different impedance. Cat5 is twisted pair cable, impedance is about 120 ohm. Coax is 75 ohm, with 1 core in the middle & the other as a skin. Wonder why you get perfect signal.

Exactly my point... but hey... if it's working.. i won't complaint... eheheh... i've never done it myself.. but if it works.. i'll do it also... of course... i'll try on small scale first...

this really makes me wonder if all the theories i read all this while are 100% true or not... not just on this thing.. but others as well... ehehehe...

i just wire a Cat5E cable from the byond box to my room tv upstairs and use 3 out of 4 pair (Yellow/Red/White) as composite.. works perfectly..


Hi ah chak.... care to explain how you connect? any diagram/photo perhaps?

Thanks.

This is how my setup is

TV to Astro --> HDMI

TV to Media Center PC --> Yellow/Red/White Cable (good ol RCA Cables)

I can still do two outputs , its not a problem at all. I can record shows this way on my Media centre pc which is connected to my HDTV via HDMI ! .

Anyone tried this to see if it works with Astro B.Yond?

How's the quality as well?

I believe it uses the RF cable

thanks
any other feedback??
need to ask my contractor to conseal the wiring already

Guys,

I am a lil bit blur after reading the whole post of this thread. I am not so sure about it. .

I am not sure what is RCA, RF, coax cable. . If I am right, RCA is a type of signal, carried by composite cable (the one with 3 color cable - yellow, red and white/black). RF is the old signal type where we use it back in antenna era last time. Coax cable is the hardware who carries RF signal. Is all right. .

Ok if all are right, Let me explain about my current setup with old astro decoder:
- 2 TV - one in living room and another in bedroom. They are just 10-20 meters away.
- TV in Living room is using 3 cable - yellow, red, black.
- TV in bedroom is using old time antenna cable - I assume is it coax cable (if my above explanation is right).
- Normally change channel at living room. Not a real problem because it just sit right in front my bedroom door.

So, here comes the questions. .

I want to use astro byond with 2 TVs.I dont mind 1 with HD and another is SD. so, what I can think of now is:

- HDMI connects my TV and astro decoder. Right?
- to make my bedroom TV works, I have to get a AV-RF converter - to convert 3 color cable (or known as RCA signal) to RF signal. Then I am set to go.

am I right guys?? if that is right, I want to add a value to my TV in bedroom - where I can change channel without going to living room. . what do I need? I read in previous post, u guys are talking about infra red, bla bla but I have no idea. anyone here care to explain?

I am really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance. .

Hi guys, I'm new to this thread. I'm waiting for my byond to come, n my current setup is

> old decoder upstairs, parent's bedroom (flat screen tv)
> Long Coax cable to living room downstairs (bigger flat screen tv)
and my AEM link receiver (rosak already, need new one)
when the byond arrive, I'm thinking to bring the decoder downstairs, and AEM link in my parents room so I can get HD in the living room.

after reading all the posts, what I should get is
(correct me if there's any mistake)

I need to buy a (AV to RF converter), connect from byond box to coax cable
a new AEM link receiver in the parents room upstairs, to change the channel
right?

to summarize thread, can anyone suggest what is the best
-(AV to RF converter) that i can get?

the best link receiver that works with byond?
and do I need a 2nd beyond controler for the link receiver?

kindly appreciate for replies
