Dear community,

First of all sry if I'm in the wrong place.
So basically about a year ago my father bought a dreambox (500s black version) and its downstairs doing its job all right. Now I just bought a new TV upstairs, how will it be possible to connect the dreambox to both TVs? or will I have to buy a new dreambox?
Thanks.

The easiest way will be to get an rf modulator and distribute it upstairs using rf..

What a Video Sender? Transmit it via RF? Depends on thickness of walls.

Whatevers available where you live :D

If running wires is problematic then you might get away with a videosender, although the cheaper 2GHz ones suffer terrible interference from wifi base units.

You might be just as well to buy a second satellite receiver to be honest, running another cable to the dish and changing the lnb if so required..

Only 10??

I only get 1.8 on a good day :D

It shouldnt interfere witht he wifi but you will get a nasty "takka takka takka" burst interference on a cheap 2GHz videosender from the wifi unit.

5GHz units are better but more expensive.
