Wireless AV sender

I bought a LOGIK AV sender for my bedroom to work from the bedroom next door that has freeview in. Now i've set it up as it has said and plugged the AV cable into the receiver to the tv and plugged the AV cable into the transmitter to the tv. But i can't get a picture or sound. nothing. tried every channel and AV1, AV2 etc etc but nothing.

Can someone please help

  • Hi,

    I have an AV sender set up from main tv to kitchen, and works fine.

    I have the transmitter plugged into my Sky box and receiver plugged into kitchen tv, you seem to have transmitter plugged into tv, so try it in the freeview box.

    A few suggestions...

    1. Why did you get an AV sender to send freeview when you could have got a freeview box for about the same price? Which would have worked straight off and two people could watch different channels independently. Just curious.

    2. Did you check the obvious with the Logik AV sender?
    a) That you haven't got the receiver and transmitters plugged in wrongly? i.e. receiver connected to freeview and transmitter connected to the TV. As suggested by frugalmacdugal.
    b) On some senders, the cables are also wired differently at the scart plug end. So you need to make sure you have the correctly labelled cable going into the transmitter and receiver.
    c) On the most AV sender , there should be a frequency selector on the back or the bottom with markings like "1,2,3,4" or "a,b,c,d". Make sure you set both to the same frequency.
    d) Flick through the AV channels on the TV to test the incoming signal. Which you've already done, but will also need to do as you make changes as described above.

    3. Test with another device. i.e. DVD player, Sky, Video. Anything that has the same type of socket (scart output) used by the AV sender.

    4. If steps 2 and 3 fail, then the Sender may be faulty. Return and get a replacement or swap for a freeview box instead.

    Hope that helps.

    I've been down the AV sender route before and the quality really isn't great, if you can get a 2nd freeview box (from £15-£20) you'll probably end up with a better result

    Freeview box requires an aerial. OP might not have one in second bedroom.( or might not want to run cable all over the house)
