Cool addon!

On ebay, I just got this box that will rebroadcast video to ANY UHF/VHF station, and also on coax. I set up my ATI card to switch displays on a hotkey that i programmed to one of the buttons on my ATI remote. I can then take a little portable TV and go within about 500 feet completely wirelessly. This is great especially in an environment like a dorm room. I ended up putting velcro on all the stalls in our bathroom . Works like a charm.

It looks great... The only problem I see is that my HTTP server's vid card only has S-Video out. and it is already directly connected to a nearby TV. How could I use this for remote houshold BTV viewing, and still have my HTPC directly conected via S-Cable to my TV?

Heres what I would do if you did want this:

OPTION 1:
SVID -> Re-broadcaster -> Coax
This will rebroadcast on a specific channel all over your house. I havent tried it, for coax yet, but i know it has that feature. You can switch from rebroad to UHF or rebroad to coax.

OPTION 2:
Get an SVID splitter. Then you can rebroad wirelessly or wired.

Oh just use an old VCR to convert the data stream to RF over a coax.


Now a Transmitter would be fun but the FCC might not be too happy about it.

I dont know how it works, i dont use it for that, i just use it for UHF. Is the legality of this in question? I had no idea. I figured since it is for personal use, and it is on a vacant channel, its fine (plus its only within my room).

I posted what I later found to be an erronious message. I couldn't delete it, so I just edited it to be nothing, but the forums app said it had to be 5 chars. minimum. It was all I could think to do...
