Hi all,
I have a UK Tivo and recently wanted to use a video sender to send the signals to my loft extension upstairs.. In terms of Video, no problems, but I've had huge problems getting the remote controls to work reliably.
What seams to be the problem is that I've tried 3 different video senders and they all suffer the same problem which I believe is ..
The tivo, being a computer, is kicking out a lot of RF noise, the video senders "Video Part" is ok, but the Remote part simply takes the IR signal from the transmitter and retransmits it on the receiver (i.e. the one near the TV/Tivo).. As mentioned earlier I think I have RFNoise from the tivo because the video sender has a little red LED which lights up when its sending IR..
This LED lights up light a xmas tree when placed near to the Tivo, and still flickers when furthest away (i.e. 1.5m scart leads)...
Currently (and it changes depending on the weather), I can change channel on the tivo, but not on my SKY box.. Actually even tivo has problems changing channels (i'm guessing because of the interference )
Anyone else had this problem??
Will ferride rings help?
Oh the video sender is a Philips SBC VL1200 Wireless TV Link...
