Is there any way to wireless connect between dish and receiver?

[saudilx]

Hello...

I'm wonderin' if there's anyway to wireless conect between the dish on housetop and the receiver downstairs?

I will be to thankful if you could guide me to website sale stuff like that...

Thanks advanced...

No way that I ever heard of. Must be wired - period.

nope. you need a line from the dish to receiver

If you mean from receiver to the dish than no. The receiver supplies a DC voltage to the LNB and switches. Inside each LNB is a preamp and frequency converter that changes 12Ghz (or whatever the exact freq is) to 2Ghz so the signal can be carried through normal coax.

You would have to put the reciever (and power) on the roof with dish and connect the channel 3 output an antenna for transmission and another receiving antenna connected to all TVs. This would be in violation of FCC laws because you would be transmitting on channel 3.

Can't be done. BUT: If you install the reciever outside, right up by the dish, then you could use a UHF remote and a wireless video transmitter from there (no wires going inside). You'd just have to get some kind of enclosure for the reciever (they're not weather-proof you know) and you'd have to run power to your dish/reciever setup as well.

Edit: Dang, Jergenf beat me to it. But is it in violation of FCC laws if he transmits on channel 4? Or how about channels 5-99?

Yes, the problem is in the scenario with receiver on the roof forget HDTV. I use wireless transmission around the house through 5.8GHZ transmitter / receiver system (forget about buying 2.4GHZ system - too much interference from your wireless network and your neighbours cordless phones) and it is a SD signal only transmission. I am not aware of any systems that actually able to (not claims to) trasmit hdtv rates wirelessly.

Technically you can't transmit on any TV frequency 2-69 and cable frequencies are not legal for OTA either. The channel 3/4 output probably is in the milliwatt range but if a neighbor was to pick it up and talked to others that could expose the situation.

Bare in mind that all TVs in your house would have to tune to chan 3 or 4 and if they're using rabbit ears there could be reception problems. Having another outdoor antenna to receive transmission would ensure better reception but then you have to run a coax from the outdoor antenna to the TV's and that defeats the purpose of the wireless project.

The receiver would need power and have to be installed in the attic along with the chan 3 antenna for transmitting.
And that antenna should be a dipole cut for that frequency and coax balanced which means you may need to check the SWR so that the transmission isn't reflected back into the receiver's output (well that's true for high power transmitters anyway). Also you would have to have a receiver with UHF remote. Reception would be no better that common analog TV (ie. no composite, s-video, audio and forget about ever having HD because you need component, HDMI, DVI inputs for those).

Is there a way to send satellite signals wireless? Sure there is. It's called microwave. Of course this method is far outside the realm of your typical household budget. It would also require power at the microwave transmitter site.

I read another thread where DirecTv may do this in a few years but I do not know any technical details of this.

Sounds like the cup holder in the computer story.

If you have wifi, you can use a Sling Box and a wifi gaming adaptor, or ethernet if so wired, and put a wifi equipped laptop anywhere in your house!

 

[saudilx]

Thanks very much for the explanation....
ZandarKoad would please tell me the name of the tool you talkin' about?
I think it's the same idea for an old tool using with analog receivers... It's a tool looks like pyramid...!

YES, I've seen wireless RCA adapters you can connect to a receiver or any other video device to transmit a wireless video signal from a base unit to its antenna located at a second TV without wires.

This isn't transmitting satellite Dish signals to a reciever located at your desired TV location but it is the same result even though it still requires a direct connect from dish to reciever at some point in the house.

Understand?
