Hi,

Has anyone out there tried to improve the range/quality of a 2.4GHz TV sender by for example fitting a longer aerial to the transmitter and/or receiver. I remember from my days messing with SW radios that "more metal in the air" tended to help. Does the same logic apply to these TV sender systems.

many thanks

Bill

It should do, if it is the type with a standard antenna screw fitting, otherwise, you may have difficulties in adding one. Also you need to be able to extend the return path remote commands signal, this may be more difficult.
