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? icon_question.gif

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. notworthy.gif

Is not in the market yet, i have the priviledge to do the testing for my company. What i can say, is it going to be launch sometime this year, around april time frame, i can take some photo to show you, but i am not allow to mention the brand yet. Quite expensive if you compare it with normal analog AV transmitter. It can transmit more than one device means you can have your byond box, blue ray dvd player connect to it (2x HDMI), then it has also one RCA input. so all together 3 devices, n yes...it comes with 3 IR flasher at sender end. So you can control all 3 devices.

Woah, how about the transmitting distance?

Guys,

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

I am not sure what is RCA, RF, coax cable. tongue.gif. 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. smile.gif.

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. biggrin.gif.

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. biggrin.gif. 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. smile.gif.
