Guys,
I'm using the China made AV-RF converter. The picture is good except that it is noisy when it comes to bright light scene. There made quite an annoying buzzing sound when it displays the scene. Is there any way to eliminate this noise? Should I use booster or change to a better AV-RF converter? Thanks. |

I'm curious... if the decoder is in the living room... how do you switch channels when watching it in the bedroom?
Is there a RF remote for Astro Decoder? |

Another issue with AV-RF convertor, is the sound in MONO or STEREO? I am currently using the existing old Astro decoder box RF to 2nd and 3rd TV. All sound is in MONO  |

It seems kinda redundant to link 2 tvs in 2 different rooms with Astro when you probably need to walk out to the other room to change channels... without the need for 2 decoders (with cards)... anyone here solved this issue? |

After reading the last few pages, I still don't really get what I should do.
Anyone kind enough to help me and summarize what I should do?  My situation: I will have 3 tvs at 3 different floors. The first floor(living room) will have a 50+" tv(haven't bought it yet, waiting for the 3D series) for general use, most probably for watching Astro only. The second floor(bedroom) will have a 32" tv, for Astro and watching normal dvd. The third floor(living room with HT system) will have a projector and very large tv, for watching Blu-Ray HD movies, Astro, etc. Which floor do I put the decoder at? Which floor will get HD or SD quality? I'm quite new to these cable and converter stuffs as well, can anyone summarize what do I need? Thank you very much.  |

RF cannot give stereo output, since RF only using single cable. It is no like HDMI cable. HDMI is optical fibre.I am currently using the existing old Astro decoder box RF to 2nd and 3rd TV. All sound is in MONO ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My suggestion is, the easiest and the cheapest way is using coax cable. Most of the restaurants, shops eg nasi kandar use coaxial cable for their TVs (not all). However if u still want to display HD on all of your TVs, it is quite expensive.. u need a HDMI splitter (RM400), HDMI cable (depends on the length, the normal length, which the one that astro gives cost about RM50-RM100. So do ur math..) This post has been edited by m_imrun: Feb 17 2010, 04:00 AM |

i took this posting by someone else from other thread , seems to be more relevent if put here.
QUOTE(noblelife @ Jan 23 2010, 12:49 PM) For wired/ RF cable transmission to 2nd/3rd TV of the Astro Byond, basically there are 3 choices in the market: This post has been edited by esca_flo: Feb 18 2010, 03:27 PM1) The Engel brand - DigiSender2 (Multiroom AudioVisual Transmitter or high pic & sound quality AV-RF Converter from Barcelona, Spain) and this is also the one that I'm using now. It cost less than RM200 (you can bargain though for lower price), I bought from the electronic shop in Jalan Pasar - I.C. Electronics Sdn Bhd, 82, Jalan Pasar, Pudu, KL. T: 92213725 / 92218175. 2) They also sell the Taiwan made "Universal...." at less than RM70, which previously my Astro Byond Installer want to sell to me at "RM200" - that means the Installer purposely want to make quick & easy money of RM130++ by just selling this simple gadget to customers who don't know about the market price of this things. Be Aware - to those who plan to install the new Astro Byond, just a small & sincere advise only. 3) They also sell the cheaper very low signal strength DAWA av-rf converter (about RM30 or less only) which CAN NOT support for longer distance, b'cos i had tried it before with my up-stair TV (i bought from ACE before RM32.90 & return already), the sound output signal too bad just can not support at all. Have a nice day. May everyone have a peaceful mind, positive thinking & radiate the positive energy everyday, every time from your inner self. |

just for sharing.
I noticed that AEM unit need cable to connect to 2nd TV. Saw it selling at RM69 at ACE hardware. So i decided to go for wireless. i just bought wireless AV sender at RM175, won from lelong bidding. My Astro byond now connect to 1st LCD TV using HDMI. red/white/yellow from astro byond connect to wireless transmitter. 2nd LCD TV connect to wireless receiver. Ready to watch.  The only thing i still not able how to change channel at 2nd TV because the IR at both side not working. also found that the wireless receiver cannot put near to WIFI modem, it will make noice to the TV. I don't mind the 2nd TV watch in normal video input, even not the HD. this item can go for 100 meters. This post has been edited by karheng: Feb 20 2010, 06:52 PM Attached thumbnail(s)
