Connect 2 TVs to Freebox Revolution

C'est nul de nos jours, tout le monde a plusieurs postes de TV chez eux et devoir payer un abonnement en plus d'un boîtier par mois pour chaque poste, c'est abusé.

But why do you think they're installing fiber for you?

To please you?

That's what they want you to believe.

It's solely to charge for new consumption.

Do the math on telephony and internet per month.

Look around us.

Don’t forget that we are the most heavily taxed country. So let's go.

There is no one left to protect the consumer. Therefore.

And don’t forget that there will always be someone clever to prove you wrong.

Sincerely

The two TVs can only watch the same program, the one sent by the Freebox and the transmitter, at least if they use the SCART input powered by the transmitter.

As for the video recorder in terms of connections, I recommend

-1- SCART output from the transmitter (whether it is the transmitter or the receiver) to SCART input of the recorder

-2- SCART output from the recorder to SCART input of the TV (the recorder must have 2 SCART sockets, as is the case for antenna sockets).

This way, the Freebox program passes through the recorder and can be recorded while watching.

This inconvenience is resolved if you use the digital VCR from the Freebox HD, which allows you to record one program while watching another.


Important note: I have abandoned the principle of the transmitter in my setup.

The Freebox V5, its Wi-Fi, and its second TV box functioning on the same principle as the wave transmitter disturb each other, resulting in image interference. This was not the case in previous versions of the Freebox!

I recommend checking the Univers Freebox forum, in the Television section, under the nickname jjl5, where I detail exactly how to operate 2 TVs, more specifically one in HDMI and the other in SCART, which corresponds to my setup.

Hello

Thank you for your reply.
Since I’m new to the forum, I can't find where you detail your setup.

Can you send me how you proceed?
With your setup, can you watch 2 different programs?

Thanks in advance
and have a good weekend

Best regards

THE FREEBOX HD, WHEN TURNED ON, EMITS EITHER A HD SIGNAL OR a PERITEL SIGNAL, SO EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE TVs WILL FUNCTION, AND IN NO CASE BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY.


Excerpt from the univers freebox forum / television / jjl5 / Posted on: Mon Mar 31 2008, 8:04 Subject of the message: TV1 hdmi, TV2 peritel, freebox V5


Two TVs on Freebox HD:

TV1 connected to the FHD hdmi output (Freebox HD)

TV2 connected to the FHD peritel output

Problem to solve: when turning on FHD, detection of TV1 on hdmi, therefore emission of the HD signal.

To be able to use the peritel signal meant to operate TV2, an hdmi switch with switches (two hdmi inputs one hdmi output) is placed on the hdmi line.

Thus, FHD hdmi output goes to A input of the hdmi switch, B input of the hdmi switch is left free, and the output of the hdmi switch goes to TV1.

Once this connection is made, to use the FHD peritel output:
- First, switch the hdmi switch to B input (press switch B)
- Second, turn on FHD

FHD no longer detects TV1 since it is disconnected from the FHD by the hdmi switch, thus initializing the peritel signal that will power TV2.


Details of the connection from FHD to TV2 via peritel using a modulator rather than a wave transmitter to avoid the image disturbance problem created by the WIFI system of the Freebox V5.


Equipment used: it is a stereo modulator by KONIG ELECTRONIQUE model SAT-MOD 5 which I paid 85 Euros.

Thus, FHD peritel output goes to the input of the modulator.

Wiring by antenna cable between the modulator and TV2, not forgetting to intersperse the remote control management module near the television. This will allow manipulating the Freebox remote control without being in the FHD room (follow the diagram provided with the modulator).

Do not forget the remote control eye either. It must be oriented towards FHD and connected to the modulator.

After all this, a frequency is chosen on the modulator, it is programmed.

On TV2, just search for this same frequency and all the FREEBOX channels can be found without any disturbances.

Hello,

does your solution still work? If I understand correctly, 2 Freebox remotes are enough to control the FHD in 2 separate rooms (with the same TV channel, of course!).


Could you please tell me how to buy this equipment? Thank you

Congratulations on your technical solution.
