Recommended RF Modulator for SD TV mirroring?

[sparc]

Is there a recommended brand/model of RF modulator to use for mirroring to SD TVs?

My Plan: Use the RCA composite on a hopper over a second coax line to another room using about 70 feet of RG6. I'll only need it to go to one extra TV. 2H/2J to 2H/1J so that i can cut the $7 additional outlet fee.

Additional Question: Will i need some sort of amplifier for that length of run using an RF modulator? I've seen some topics mention a powered splitter when going to multiple TVs, but i'm only going to one other TV.

Here's a few i've seen so far:

• Best Buy (Dynex RF Modulator - DX-AD116)
• Walmart (4 Different One's)
• Amazon (A bunch of different kinds)
• Radio Shack (Model 15-2526)

I have a Radio Shack RF modulator which works fine for several SD TV's.

i ended up going with the $17 one at walmart: GE RF Modulator Video Converter, DVD Player RF Modulator, RCA RF Modulator

worked out nicely. The quality is pretty good overall (for SD anyways). I only chose this one out of convenience since it was cheap and close by. Not one single issue despite the fact that the wiring to get it to the other room is a bit cobbled together. Probably 4 barrels in between.

I'm mirroring off a hopper, which turned out be a good idea as it's slightly faster overall than a joey and it has an external antenna for the remote.

Just returned a joey this week since this worked out so well. So now i'm 2H/1J and only paying $4 more than before the upgrade.

Thanks for the info. I've been thinking about doing this for a few underutilized SDTVs in our house. Any idea what the range of the remote is? I had to relocate my 722 antenna to the center of the house to get signal in our master bedroom for TV2.

200 feet I believe.

200 feet I believe.

OK, it looks like it is the same range as my VIP722 remote.
