I understand from the wireman, it have two method.

01) a extension from your first decoder to 2nd decoder, so you need to put from the first decoder point to the new decoder point.

02) a direct from outside dish to the new decoder point.

Option 1, you only need one dish, but you need to make sure the first decoder is always on/standby, the first decoder act as signal booster and send signal to the 2nd unit.

Option 2, you need 2 dish, or get a signal splitter. Using signal splitter may not work if extension end to end is too long. Advantage, no need depend on first decoder.

I maybe wrong, so need some astro expert to advice. For me, i take option 1 since Asstro is not my priority.

normal old tv - coax cable type 3c2v, 5c2v

cctv coax RG59

CATV/ SaTV coax Rg6 provide up to. 1GHz Frequency bandwidth

HDtv coax RG6 provide up to MIN. 3GHz Frequency bandwidth

if u go for astro byond, RG6 with MIN. 3GHz Frequency bandwidth is a must & use branded one like belden

My office run 3C2V from MDF to 12th floor for E1, no problem. 3C2V rock.

The AV Wireless transmission can do 1080p? last year review in a magazine is still limit to 720 and is not cheap too. And line of sight is very critical of the quality too.

You need your Astro decoder and dish. This where you will receive your Astro transmission.
The wireless AV transmitter is basically transmitting the signal from the Astro decoder to a 2nd TV located some where else (within say 100m or less)
Any idea if this is available on our shore & how much?

Internet price about 220 USD for the asus WHDI maybe around 600 to 1k here. Lelong got people selling around 800 for difference brand.

For me it won't be useful yet. But good to know such things are available. Someone should buy and test with AVR smile.gif
