TV Distribution.

An option I guess...its Always ££££ rather than 10's lol. I will have to start saving up. I had thought of trying to go that route...but was not aware I would need a HDMI modulator. In fact I don't know what one is. Lol.
I thought I might be able to distribute via coax but was not sure how to get HDMI out. I just grabbed a 5 way HDMI but it's only really a switch 1 into 5.
I also have 3 sets of HDMI to CAT6 converters to try. Not used them yet though.

Need to solve WiFi issue first. It's a right pain.

The HDMI Modulator allows you to turn an HDMI output into a Freeview HD signal that looks like any other to your TV. So if you for instance, plug a Blu-Ray play into the modulator and set a Logical Channel Number of 799 for example (needs to be a channel number not in the Freeview list), then if you scan the TV, channel 799 appears in the list and will be the Blu-Ray player.

If it is only wireless issues then I would suggest a couple of hard wired access points, especially those by Ubiquiti. Repeaters are all well and good, but they contribute to the noise floor and need careful placement to get a reasonable S/N input. Else noise in equals amplified noise out.

Yeah it does appear to be wireless only. (Save for the fact the Mikrotik box I have in the backroom hardwired does not a" much better on wireless. (I don't spend much time in there during winter).
I already have hard wired to the backroom for PC's
I guess these Ubiquiti ain't cheap. Lol

They don't appear to bad but again there is so many on eBay it's knowing which ones to get.
What exactly is the difference between an access point and repeater and hardwired wireless router.

They do a budget range but you will get what you pay for.

I thought you might say that...but it's knowing how much you get V what you need. Lol

A budget Ubiquiti will knock the spots off a Chines special. I think they are good value for money, even if not cheap.

If you want a quick and dirty option, use old routers as access points. That is still better than Powerlines or repeaters.
