View Full Version : Use for the 2nd Line if you Install an SWM

So, let's say you have two lines already running to an HR20. You decide to get an SWM making one of the lines unnecessary.

Is there a way to convert either the component or RGB and audio to an RG6 line and then back to allow a second TV to watch what is on the the HR20?

I have seen adapters/baluns for Cat5, not sure if it's possible for coax.

Anyone seen anything like that?

Sure. They're called RF modulators and demodulators. Not sure about how good the quality would be after being modulated and then demodulated again. Does your 2nd tv not have a coax input?

I didn't find anything right off, but there might be a coax based balun to send component over coax rather than twisted pair (the more common type.)

Cheers,
