Re: [a/s] satellite tv/phone lines



Hi Gang!!!

While we're on the subject of satellite tvs... I got something really cool at 
Walmart yesterday.  A little remote thing that allows me to connect the 
bedrom tv to the living room tv, then take the remote control into the 
bedroom and change the channel.

IOW,. I now have satellite service on both tvs (with a splitter) and can 
change the channel in the bedroom even though the receiver is in the living 
room.

The little transmitter in the bedroom sends a signal to the one in the living 
room which sends the signal to the receiver.  Both tvs will be on the same 
channel, it's not a substitute for a dual LNB and two receivers.

Ran the coax from the living room to the bedroom... down beind the fridge, 
under the shower seat, under the bed, around the very back behind the wall 
and along the wall behind the bureau and up through the bureau top.

George did most of it, but I helped (c:

Total cost was about $60.00.  That included the 40.00 transmitters, the 50 
foot co-ax, and two splitters.... well, one splitter and one thingie on the 
bedroom tv so I can switch it from satellite to local channels.
