video sender
mritorto:
guys,
I just got the video sender.
what's the range.
the directions state the attenas have to be facing each other
but my one tv is on the first floor and my bedroom is on the 3rd floor.
I have them set to channel c and its not working.
I have the sender hooked up to my tv. BUt it also has a vcr and cable box tied to it. how will that work.
The receiver side also has a vcr hooked up to it.
the cable in my house is splice but I only get 72 channels on the tvs not hooked up to the cable box.
I would like to see certain channels and pay per view events from the sending tv to the receiving tv
is that possible

Range varies depending on number of walls, floors, and material of such, the signal has to go through.
The antennas are fairly directional and NEED to generally point at each other...maybe that is why it isn't working.
You have the Sender unit coupled to a TV, so the TV has video and audio OUTPUTs and that is what you have the Sender coupled to, correct?
The Sender only has one input for video and audio, so if you plan on having three separate sources (TV, VCR, and cable box) you will need a video switcher to select which device to connect to the Video Sender. They are available at Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack etc.
The Video Receiver only has one output for video and audio. If you want to connect a TV and a VCR to one Video Receiver you can probably use "RCA to RCA Y adaptors". The Y adaptor takes the one output and send it to two devices. Best Buy and Radio Shack should have them. Or you could connect the Receiver output to the VCR and use video output from VCR to feed TV.
IF your "sender TV" displays Pay Per View then the receiving TV will display the same material. These things are not rocket science. Other than their ability to extend remote control range, picture them as a very long set of RCA video/audio cables running from the video/audio OUTPUT of one device to the video/audio INPUT of another.

how can u have the attenas poiting to each other if each device is another room ?
mritorto:
I have the sender hooked up to the vcr red, yellow, and white holes and then I tried the tv's red, yellow and white holes.
I had the same set up on the receiver end.
instead of using a switcher can't you choose the source , video, line1, line2?
How about if I disconnect the vcrs on both tvs how should I connect it.
dave w:
The Video Sender must be connected to the OUTPUT(s) of the device having the video you want to send to another TV. So are the "red, yellow, and white holes" outputs ? They will probably be labeled "OUT"
As far as the switcher; if the "sender TV" really has red, yellow, and white OUTPUTS and you normally switch between VCR and cable box by switching the TV's "Line 1", "Line 2" then no, you would not need a seperate video switcher since the TV is providing that function. But most TVs only have video and audio INPUTS.
