How can I get TV or stereo to the next room |
|
|
If someone has satellite or cable TV in 2 rooms, and has a wireless
remote in one of them anyway ( 1 box feeds 2 rooms that way ), and
they want to send the signal from that box into a third room
without having to hire someone to run cable in the crawl space,
can't that be done?
I used to hear about something called a TV rabbit that could hop
the TV signal to another room. In this case, all we want is the
stereo from the music channels on cable, to be sent out to the FM
receiver in the living room, so we can listen to the music out
there.
What can do that, how expensive is it, and what's it called
nowdays?

Ah, well, I don't know what people call it, but if you have a telly
there already, simply wire from the input of the audio amplifier to the
other room, or alternatively wire from output of amplifier and dampen
the signal to fit Line In or whatever you need.
That is easiest solution if you have a telly that is always-on.

There are several ways. I now have a box made by Recoton - I don't know if
they are still around - that transmits a pretty good signal over electrical
wires. You just attach it to your amplifiers outputs, plug it in, and plug in
the speakers in another room. When I was much younger I had an AM radio that
reached through my college dorm.

With an A/V sender/
Besides, you don't need to hire "A guy" to run wires, that is something
most can do themselves. |

You remember well. They were called the "TV Rabbit". Out of production
now, but I still see them on Ebay, in fact there is one available now: Item
# 5801418966. Hurry... only a day or so left.
But to more directly answer your question about getting music to your FM
reciever,, you can probably find exactly what you're after at Best Buy.
They're called FM Transmitters. Surf over to Best Buy's web site at
www.bestbuy.com and search for "FM Transmitter"
Belkin TuneCast Mobile FM Transmitter Model: F8V367-APL @ $19.99
DynexT Portable Wireless FM Transmitter Model: DX-AC101 @ $19.99
RCA Portable FM Transmitter - Blue Model: MM70FM @ $20.99
I'm not a Best Buy advocate, but in surfing their web site, I saw that you
can get one of those transmitters FREE if you buy a Sony walkman.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat70000050020.
Check it out.
Cheers!!!
