1210720 2011-06-20 02:10:00 My parents want a freeview box with an RF out port so that it can be sent to all the tv ports in the house via Our Distribution system for the tvs that dont have built-in freeview. Does anyone know of a box that can do this? nedkelly (9059)
1210721 2011-06-20 04:41:00 Probably easier to get an RF converter and attach it to the S-Video or Composite output from any tuner. Agent_24 (57)
1210722 2011-06-21 00:24:00 My Freeview Sat box has RF out - ask the suppliers. Peter H (220)
1210723 2011-06-21 00:34:00 But with a separate RF modulator unit you are not limited to any specific tuner or anything.

And of course you can plug other devices in whenever you want, too...

We have a DSE G7500 that has RF In and Out.

1210725 2011-06-21 05:26:00 Well I'll be the dummy here, but, doesn't that mean that every TV will have to view the same channel at the same time. Morgenmuffel (187)
1210726 2011-06-21 06:51:00 Just be careful, some Freeview Rcrs have RF through, but don't have a built-in modulator. gneill (5769)

Yes that is correct

1210728 2011-06-21 07:55:00 yes some may have loop through rather than rf out. some can have adjustable channel output to. handy as a lot of video's are all on the same channel.

i have a GOG unit here that has adjustable RF out.

1210729 2011-06-21 08:12:00 The DSE-7500 has one, I haven't tested it though.

But ideally you want a separate receiver for each television, so they can all watch a different channel. You need an RF splitter that allows power pass on all ports. If you have such a distribution system, your house is likely already wired with RG-6 cable, which you can use to distribute the satellite signal... You can even use a satellite-terrestrial diplexer to send the satellite signal along with your RF distribution...

You will likely need to replace your belling-lee wall jacks with F-type connectors, if they aren't aleady. This should be as easy as unscrewing the factplates, popping the belling-lee modules out, unscrewing the F-type connector from the back of the module (the belling-lee modules used on RG-6 cable have an F connector on the back), and popping an F-type module it it's place.
