Sorry, Dave, eiither I forgot how many other ways there were, or I incorrectly assumed that only your method 3, RF modulated, would involve anything like a distribution amp. >so yes you are looking at a antenna distribution amp. I set this up when the PCJr as the go to computer, and I had no internet and I don't know how I decided what to buy. So later I thought there were different amps for the antenna versus the between the VCR and the remote tvs. But I guess I jumped to the wrong conclusion. >Way back then too, the power supply would have been a transformer, and >supplying not much current would have helped it's longevity. >However, if all of your TVs are now digital, there are much better ways None of them are digital. I was thinking of getting one, but I have no room for a large screen. 22" is about all I have room for or a little bigger. That woudl still leave 3 rooms with analog, whose signal is provided by the DVDRhd, which has a digital tuner. (I use powermids to control the dvdr from other rooms.) >of distributing content. >HDHomeRun for one. >https://www.silicondust.com/ That looks pretty good. I wish I'd put ethernet in all the rooms when I put in the coax, but I guess I could use wifi if I had a tv that could accept that. Maybe later. I may be getting a 50-year roof so I'll have to live her 50 more years to get my money's worth. |

Way back then too, the power supply would have been a transformer, and supplying not much current would have helped it's longevity. However, if all of your TVs are now digital, there are much better ways of distributing content. HDHomeRun for one. https://www.silicondust.com/ -- Adrian C |
