connect 2 TVs with 1 SFR neuf box decoder Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I have an SFR box and a TV decoder. I want to be able to watch TV that is not located upstairs, what can I do? An SFR installer told me that I should negotiate with SFR for a second decoder but that I needed to check if the electrical line would support the second decoder. Is there another solution?
Thank you for your responseConfiguration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

JOS · Accepted Answer

To be able to watch two TV channels simultaneously with a second TV decoder, you need to subscribe to SFR's Multi-TV option, which allows you to benefit from the second set-top box: https://assistance.sfr.fr/television/services-tv/option-multi-tv-programmes-tv-vod.html

However, those who have purchased a second-hand SFR TV decoder (on LeBonCoin or elsewhere) seem to say that it works, but there is no guarantee on the duration, as it is possible that SFR could disable their second device or cut off the line.

Finally, there is the option to get an Android TV box, for example, or an Apple TV with Android, in order to watch TV on each additional television.

Hello,  you have the image transmitter that will allow you to send the image from the TV downstairs to the one upstairs via radio waves,  the problem is you have to watch the same channel as the TV downstairs and the first image transmitters don't allow you to change the channel,  otherwise, the solution, as the technician told you, is to negotiate a second TV decoder.

Hello  I have a coupler, do you think this could work to watch both TVs?

POUSSI · Answer

Hi, I have the same problem. I just called SFR. It is impossible to connect two TVs to the decoder and the Neuf box. There's no need to purchase a second decoder. You can only connect one decoder to a line. However, if you have a second phone line with a different number, you can, provided you subscribe to a second plan. That will cost you €29.90 x2. The PLC boxes will be useless except for avoiding long cables. I hope I answered your question.

Hello Poussy and everyone else!  Since I just bought a TV for my son (upstairs!!), I have the same problem...... After checking with various sellers and a person from 9 this morning by phone, I was convinced that buying 2 powerline adapters would solve my TV and computer connection issue; but now you say I need a second phone line???? At my place, it's impossible to run wires everywhere, and I refuse to pay an extra subscription and I definitely don't want to watch the same program as my kids!! What options do we have?? Thank you

Hello, I am hopeless at computers. How do you install an image transmitter?

cricrix · Answer

Hello
SFR negotiated new modem boxes in February. To have a multi-TV box, the fiber optic network must be operational in our region. This is why SFR is not providing new boxes; these operations are being carried out gradually in our regions. It must be France Telecom that is blocking it via SFR.
I INSTALLED AN INDOOR ANTENNA TO AT LEAST RECEIVE THE TNT CHANNELS ON MY SECOND TELEVISION. I SET UP THESE CHANNELS FROM A DEVICE LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA. WE MUST BE PATIENT AND CALL SFR REGULARLY.

maniac75 · Answer

Hello,

On my side, I tested it and it works "partially".

Actually, I have a switch connected to the TV output of the box, and 2 SFR decoders, which are both connected to the switch and to an antenna, because the decoders allow receiving TNT.

In this setup, it is possible to use all functions on both TVs (TNT, ADSL TV, media center).
Only TNT is available on both decoders simultaneously.
The other functions must be used alternately.
It is possible to watch ADSL TV on one TV and the media center on the other at the same time.

Hello

It is entirely possible to connect multiple set-top boxes (decoders) to an SFR Neufbox. I have 3 decoders, and everything works perfectly; I can watch whatever I want on each of my TVs.

I just bought 3 sets of 2 switches because otherwise it works poorly, and I connected them to the Ethernet ports of the box; it doesn't matter whether it's the PC port or the TV port. I have one switch connected to the TV output and the others connected to PC1 and PC2, and I'm getting 20 Mbps, which is great.

marlboro55 · Answer

Lol, the line gives a maximum of 7.8 Mbps for a TV to have proper HD, which is therefore insufficient for HD and 2 decoders. Yes, you have it, but not in HD because a simple image is less than 3 Mbps and 6 Mbps for HD. With HD and ADSL, 8 Mbps, the line doesn't allow for a higher subscription; we're stuck because of what the line supports. And you need a minimum of 7.8 Mbps for HD without pixelation, so I'm responding that you're just a tinkerer, but for HD, you'll have to try again.

michael49 · Answer

To access SFR services, you need a "white" smart card with the rights in the decoder  so it is impossible to have a second decoder from SFR and an additional card.   SFR should offer the option in December for €5/month but through Ethernet and not powerline.  with the decoder + smart card. We will have access to multi-room, radio, media center but in 90% of cases  only in SD and not in HD due to bandwidth issues. SFR is currently conducting beta tests with about a hundred subscribers.   So we still need to wait.

bouletbil · Answer

Hello mickael49,  You obviously need to find a second SFR decoder, maybe check eBay; it should be available. Keep in mind that SFR will only provide you with a second decoder if you subscribe to a second subscription. Then buy 3 powerline adapters (around 70 Euro). Connect the TV output of the Neuf Box to a powerline adapter near the Neuf Box with an RJ 45 cable. Connect the first decoder with an RJ 45 cable to a second powerline adapter near that decoder. Connect the second decoder with an RJ 45 cable to the third powerline adapter in the bedroom. Then insert your one and only SFR card into the decoder you want to use. You will only be able to use one decoder at a time; it's impossible to watch on two televisions simultaneously.  The other alternative solution is to use a "wireless video transmitter," which costs 50 Euro. There you go! Best regards.

Question: Is there a "significant" difference between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz for radio transmitters?

stewartia · Answer

Test your line: http://www.123adsl.com/  Then, you can connect an SFR TV box to any Ethernet port. In a few months, SFR will offer the addition of a second TV box, not to mention the arrival of the new Wyplayer models.  According to SFR, Fnac and Boulanger will be partners for the distribution of SFR equipment.  If you have a minimum of 5 megabits of bandwidth, you will be able to have 2 TV boxes and watch in SD simultaneously. For HD, you need to count on 7.1/7.3 stable megabits for a single TV box.

stewartia · Answer

Another piece of information, but it's up to everyone to do their own research, personally it's confirmed, the increase in speed on certain lines in the coming months.

marlboro55 · Answer

yes, but with SFR or Neuf, we all get it for free whenever there's a outage, so it's not tomorrow that we'll leave customer service and it's top notch.

stewartia · Answer

I completely agree, when a customer service is up to par, it's worth mentioning. We can even say a little hello to Morocco, most of the time it's them who respond.

ju2110 · Answer

Hello,  As for me, I have 2 updated 9TV decoders, with 2 smart cards. I want to watch 2 different programs simultaneously, or use 2 different services (Media Center), on my 2 TVs.  My problem: the connection to the Ethernet socket PC2 of the NeufBox is not working: No 9TV via ADSL (message "Signal not available" on the screen), no services, Media Center down... In short, no connection! The NeufBox does not recognize the 2nd 9TV decoder connected to the Ethernet socket PC2 of the 9Box (No Signal), or the other way around (Decoder 1: connection via CPL - Decoder 2: connection via Ethernet cable). The Ethernet port PC2 of the Box is not working either with the CPL sockets.  Why??? What is the procedure to perform, or the solution to provide???  Thank you. Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

debel13 · Answer

Hello ju2110,
someone in this post mentioned that if the firmware of the neuf/sfr box is below 2, the PC ports won't work, we'll see.
However, using an RJ45 switch to split the signal from the TV output, I tried it, and it only works on one output of the switch, so is it true or false???
So, if someone really serious who has succeeded could come forward to share their experience.
Thank you in advance.

stewartia · Answer

Currently, there is no second decoder offered by SFR, the new one has arrived, so at best, ask to exchange it; the advantage is that it's a Wyplayer, WiFi.
Otherwise, use an HDMI splitter, one input and two outputs
Example: https://www.amazon.fr/SPLITTER-HDMI-1-3b-PORTS-Simultan%C3%A9es/dp/B002TICPBS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1269181260&sr=8-1 and use an HDMI cable of the necessary length. If you have more than 15 meters, use an HDMI extender over two RJ45 to HDMI https://www.amazon.fr/Marmitek-Distributeurs-vid%C3%A9o-Mega-View/dp/B002CHJ3EI/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1269181351&sr=1-10 or an HDMI female to HDMI female repeater: https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00095574.html

stewartia · Answer

The Wyplayer has arrived, since I will have it this week, the offer is the same as the old Netgem, for the hard drive, you can buy one and insert it, which in the end is not that expensive, or rent it. The dual tuner function should be active in the coming months.
As for your problem, you could try this: http://cgi.ebay.fr/DECODEUR-NUMERIQUE-TV-HD-SFR-NEUF-BOITE-DORIGINE_W0QQitemZ250600161704QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFR_LC_Son_Home_Cinema_D%C3%A9codeurs_Antennes_TNT?hash=item3a58ef01a8 or this one with an 80GB internal hard drive: http://cgi.ebay.fr/DECODEUR-NUMERIQUE-TV-HD-SFR-NEUF_W0QQitemZ190382455942QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFR_LC_Son_Home_Cinema_D%C3%A9codeurs_Antennes_TNT?hash=item2c53adbc86

According to the latest news (today), SFR does not provide a second TV decoder for a single subscription (rental or loan). The only option would be to purchase a decoder at an SFR store.

Tchen · Answer

Has anyone tested putting an HDMI splitter (1 input 2 outputs) behind the SFR HD decoder to connect 2 TVs?

stewartia · Answer

There are HDMI splitters, where you connect your equipment, and the signal displays on both TVs.
You have a system, with a switch and splitter, cascaded setup, where you connect all your devices to the switch, such as DVD players, set-top boxes, multimedia hard drives, etc., and then connect the output of the switch to the splitter, allowing you to watch what you want on either of the two TVs, or both. It is not necessary to turn on both TVs at the same time.
For your information, there are "HDMI matrices" that do both at the same time, switch/splitter (switch/splitter) e.g., 4 inputs and two outputs. On certain models, you send the signal to both TVs, while on others, you send the input signal to either TV 1 or 2, e.g., you want to watch a DVD (input "A") on TV 2, and the TV Box on TV 1 simultaneously.
Inquire with sellers before purchasing, as the cascaded setup is not compatible with all switches.

branch two TVs to one decoder

JOJO LA BRICOLE · Answer

Hello everyone.

I just received the complete SFR equipment, with just one TV decoder of course.
But I have 2 TVs, and I found a solution to watch SFR TV channels on my 2 TVs (which are separated by a wall, but not very far apart)
Once the first TV was set up, I connected a blue Ethernet cable (that I had in my mess) to the PC1 output behind the modem, I drilled through my wall, and I ran my Ethernet cable next to my second TV. I retrieved a regular Scart cable (still in my mess) and connected it to my second TV and set it aside next to my Ethernet cable.
Then, all I have to do is move the TV decoder with its power supply and remote control to watch all the channels either on one TV or the other.
It's a bit of a DIY job, but it works very well. Just a little workaround while waiting for fiber optic to get the Multi TV option.
PS: I tried to get a second decoder from SFR but no luck.

Olympik13 · Answer

It's possible, but you need to have a compatible speed!!! For my part, I plugged an RJ45 cable into a PC1/2 or 3 socket on the Neuf Box and into a powerline adapter, then upstairs, another powerline adapter and an RJ45 cable into the second SFR Evolution decoder... It sets itself up and both work at the same time and on the same channel or not, perfect!!!

You can find a second-hand SFR TV box on Priceminister or eBay. This will reduce one rental payment.

franblue55 · Answer

Hello,
Here's what I've done and it works very well.
First, I bought an HDMI splitter with 1 input and 2 outputs (about €40) and HDMI extensions of about 15 m for around €40.
Then connect the SFR decoder to the HDMI input with the cable, then plug an HDMI cable into output 1 or 2 connected to your first TV. Connect the second HDMI cable to output 1 or 2 but do not connect your second TV right away; you must first turn on your decoder so that it starts up with its boot sequence. Wait for the mosaic to appear and only then connect your second television.
So normally it works, but be careful, I made this connection on my Samsung LE32 TV with the second Samsung Smart TV that I turn on second, and it works very well. However, if I do the opposite, that is to say turn on the Samsung Smart TV first (it might be too strong), it doesn't work.
I hope my somewhat long explanation, I admit, will be helpful... I struggled a bit to find this solution that saves me from renting the second decoder. So yes, I have the same channel on both TVs, but hey, it's a solution.

nikita · Answer

Hello everyone! I just subscribed to SFR! I have 4 children, so 4 rooms and 4 decoders. I should be paying 3 euros per decoder, but as a negotiator, I only pay 2! Everything is going wonderfully, everyone is watching their own program! There are also TPS sockets that can help avoid financing several decoders! For that, you need to call customer service. Good luck to everyone!!!
