Connecting second TV wirelessly to Foxsat-HDR?

As the title says, I need to connect a new TV in an upstairs bedroom to the Humax - too far away for an HDMI cable and we have no terrestrial uhf ariel as an alternative so the only option seems to be a wireless video sender - any recommendations or advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks. (The Foxsat is about ten years old).

  • Are you planning on using the humax downstairs too, it has only one HDMI but it does have a composite output?

    Yes, the Humax is downstairs 'feeding' the main tv. I will be buying a new tv for the upstairs bedroom <10m away and I want to access the Humax wirelessly to watch Freesat. I suppose a transmitter can be connected to the Humax via the RCA connections?

    Nobody got any advice or recommendations? Oh well, thanks for looking anyway. I shall persevere with my research.
  • I use modulators with my foxsats to distribute via the aerial setup , I haven't used any AV senders so I can't recommend any you may have more luck at avforums https://www.avforums.com/forums/

    Thanks DCM, I have found a thing called Redlution wireless av sender which I think will fit the bill.
  • That should do the trick. BTW my HDRs disks were going(well they were 10+ years old) so I installed a new 1TB Seagate Skyhawk disks very easy job, I also use the Media and File Server mod which is why I keep them https://www.avforums.com/threads/media-file-server-bundle-for-the-foxsat-hdr-release-4-part-6.2024876/page-18
