    A/V Senders

    Does anyone have any experience with Audio/Video Senders? i.e. the little transmitter & receiver to send A/V signals throughout the house? How is the quality? (e.g. RadioShack.com - Home Entertainment: Accessories: Audio accessories: Wireless signal senders )

    My Mini BUD Adventure

    Spent today doing my own Mini BUD experiments. I have a 1.2 M Channel Master offset Dish (Type 123). I tried the BSC621-2 LNBF, using the C Band portion only so I would not be bogged down with switches and those possible issues. I made the following observations and attached a few photos: 1...

    Channel Master Question

    I just used CM for the first time to load my Coolsat 6000 P with a bunch of new satllites. The problem is that when I look at my Coolsat for one of the new satellites, there are no frequencies imported. If I blindscan on a satellite, will it add the frequencies or do these need to be added...

    Diplexer

    I just bought two of these on ebay for a few bucks. From my reading, I should be able to use these to pass a cable TV signal and a satellite signal over one cable by use a diplexer at each end. Sounds great. Anybody use these? Any comments? Is signal quality effected?:confused:

    BSC621-2 dumb question
