Video Sender question

sarge123

We have just had a big conservatory added onto the back of our house, and now we decide that it might be nice to put a TV out there.

I have a TV in the lounge with SKY+ and DVD Recorder, a TV in our bedroom wired into the downstairs SKY box. it is the official SKY one so that the remote works- that is plugged into the 2nd AV output on the SKY box iirc.

Anway, was thinking of getting a TV and a wirelees video sender connected into the SKY box to enable us to watch SKY in the conservatory. I am aware that we will only be able to watch the same SKY channel on both / all TV's.

My question is this, if the new TV has freeview built in as most of them do, will i be able to watch it as the TV itself will not have any aerial connected to it. This will enable us to watch SKY in the lounge and on the odd occasion that it might be needed to watch an additional channel (non SKY) out in the conservatory.

Thanks in advance

hi,

with no aerial attached you wont get the freeview signal so you will only be able to watch the signal from the av sender.

It would probably be worth seeing if an indoor aerial picks up a strong enough signal to enable you to watch a different channel than is on your main sky box.

The video sender we have has a scart input on it which takes the signal in from the Sky box.

So if your freeview decoder is built in to the TV I don't think you will be able to use freeview with the sender, as I don't see any way to get the freeview signal to the sender unit.

Thanks for the replies, that was what i thought / was worried about. May have to look at a good indoor aerial that does not look out of place. Any suggestions?
