open box s9

[msrebel]

I read where the open box s9 does ac3 audio through the hdmi, I was wondering if I ran coax to the bedroom using the satellite out would I receive audio on channels that are broadcasting in ac3 on the tv in the bedroom?

using a coax and running it another tv will not work. you have to use the proper cables and run them to a ac3 decoder box or surround sound system.

satellite out is for another receiver. Also known as loop out

The SSO has no coax output but with a RF converter you can use the red/yellow/white outputs (composite) and run a coax cable. And yes you will get the AC-3 audio through the RCA cables

BUT, wouldn't you need to set the SSO to the lowest resolution in order for this to work?

That was my understanding.

A more complex way ( of course , its how I do it ) is to use the component outputs to a component to composite converter, then use an composite to rf converter. Since the Component out and HDMI outputs are the same resolution, it doesn't create a problem and there's no green tint . I use this for my small , monitoring set .

I use a wireless 900Mhz RF video/audio/remote setup, which I've had for several years, but the microwave, etc does interfere with it... and you need to play with location and antenna direction for best signal... (i.e. Amazon.com: 5.8GHz Wireless Audio Video Sender Transmitter & Receiver with Infrared Remote Extender: Electronics).

If you go with the a/v -> coax converter, you can get a remote transmitter instead (i.e. Amazon.com: Next Generation Remote Control Extender: Electronics).

Brent, doesn't HDMI/composite need to set to RGB, while component need to be set for YUV in the openbox settings?

My video setup is simply YUV . I don't have a seperate setting for HDMI, component, composite, etc in the menu.

considering return issues, etc, I favor Sadoun in Columbus, Ohio , a former Gold sponsor here.
