Whole Home / TV Question

[doug4772]

I am upgrading to a whole home DVR system next week. I will transition my HR23 to my upstairs tv and have a new HR24 installed in my living room.

My question is, if I use an RF Modulator can I connect the HR23 HD DVR to an SD tv? I believe this will work. I know it's not ideal but I need to connect it this way until I buy an HD tv for my second room.

Essentially, the RF modulator will allow me to convert svideo from the receiver to straight coax. I suppose could use composite RCA cab,cables as well...

Thanks,
Doug

yep! It will work as you plan.

Most RF mods ONLY take composite video in.
Just curious, but you're sure your SD TV has NO external A/V inputs already, front or back? If so, you obviously would NOT even need the RF mod.

Does the HR23 have an s-video out? BTW, a VCR makes a fine rf modulator!

ALL the HR2x series do, & except for the H24 & H25, so do all the other H2x series

The TV is coax input only. The HR23 does have svideo output.

The radio shack RF modulator I already had does have composite and svideo.

Sounds like I a set for now.

Thanks for e replies.
