Modulators
Modulators allow devices that do not have an RF modulated output to be distributed to other room/s. These may be Freesat Set top Boxes, Freeview Set top Boxes, DVD Players, CCTV Cameras - anything you wish to distribute to other rooms.
If you are unsure whether your set top box has a built in modulator have a look at the specification in the equipments instruction book. If in the specification it says something like: RF Modulator: CH21 - Ch 69. Then it has. (Ch21 - C69 refers to the UHF TV channels used in the UK)
If it does not you will need an external modulator to enable you to distribute the signal to another room. The modulator would connect directly with the set top boxes scart socket. Read on:
Wish to distribute Freesat or Freeview receiver output to other room?
Most Freesat and Freeview set top boxes do not have a UHF modulator built in i.e. no RF output. The Triax Tri-Link RF Modulator Kit solves the issue of distributing Freesat or Freeview around the home, with the ability to view and control set top boxes on existing analogue and digital TV's with built in analogue tuners.
The Triax Tri-Link RF Modulator Kit I show below comprises of a UHF modulator pre-selectable between TV channels 21 to 68. It has a TV aerial input with UHF loop through to enable the modulated signal (from the freesat or freeview receiver) and TV aerial to be combined.
It is supplied with a couple of stick on IR remote control transmitters to affix to front of satellite receiver/s or DVD recorder etc. This combined enables you to view and remote control the devices from another room. You will also need to purchase and run good quality aerial cable to the room.
There's even a remote eye included to enable you to remote control your set top box from say the bedroom. Full circuit diagram supplied.
