Also if you (or your neighbours) run a bluetooth dongle or phone headset you get lots of interference with the tv sound/picture

hi,

just bought the medion av sender for my ntl digital,
and it displays but does not chang the channel.

i assume its wrong bandwidth


can anyone let me know if theyve done this?



also does that technica one work with ntl or not?


if not for both, does anyone know which one does, that doesnt actually cast that much?

cheers

Most of the NTL remotes use a different infrared protocol to normal remotes. There is a solution that I've used before :

http://www.redremote.co.uk/

It's pretty cheap and easy to set up, and will allow you to use any normal remote control with the set top box. So you canbuy a different programmable remote to use with the AV sender and keep the NTL remote with the main TV/settop box.

Also check on ebay for the redeye converter because they are often available there.

HTH,

Can I point out that those of you who may have a wireless network, this plays havoc with it!

They both run at 2.4ghz which is standard WiFi bandwidth

Certainly does. We have AV Sender, Wireless Access point/laptop, baby monitor AND a portable phone... blimey talk about interferace! I had to play around with the 3 different settings on the AV sender and the 13 channels on Wireless AP to get the best result. Trial and error (and also the occational loss of signal on the access point when I picked 2 channels that were too close together). The main problem is the AV Sender and the access point... when the laptop tries to connect and send large amounts of data over wireless it cripples the TV signal... hardly surprising really though.

Oh well... the price we pay for living in a modern technical world! ;-)

Although on the plus side with all this radiation floating around in my house I don't actually need to switch the fluorescent lights on - the bulbs start to glow as I bring them through the door :-)

Changes channel on my NTL digital (Pace) STB OK but not all menu functions are available.
You have (or at least I had) to use the cable with 3 IR senders on it into the transmitter as per the manual.
