Title: Xbox Video Distribution
Post by: chief7 on March 07, 2005, 04:33:00 PM
I want to be able to play my xbox from any room in my house.  i have seen expensive video distribution systems but i know there has to be a way to get the same results.

i have a craw space under my house so wiring isn't a huge concern.  If i run a line out from my xbox to my cable box i should be able to use some kind of modulator to insert the video into the cable signal.

you can buy amodulator for $5-15 but they only allow you to send the video to channel 3 or 4.  i want to be able to insert the video into an unused channel like 80-90

can you modify what frequency the modulator use?

any other ideas?

Something like this would work. I don't know about the price for this exact one but the have cheap ones you can buy.

edit: Here take a look at this.

those look like they would work, but im afraid they will interfere with the other wireless technologies i already use

plus i would think that a hard wired solutions would produce better quality

The wireless controller I had worked at the other end of my house. My house isn't that big though.

yea i have a wireless controller that uses rf.  i live in a townhome so i can use it from any room

i think the best solution would be to modify a modulator to use a higher channel number like 85.  by default most of them use channel 3 which also distorts all the channels around it (2-12).  i don't have any channels from 76 to 98 so 85 should be a good channel

ive been googling this morning and have found several digital modulator that allow you to select almost any channel (2-135) to insert the video into.  i have found them for like $30-35 US

I will probably end up using one these in a setup similiar to yours arallsopp
