CPL connection for TV in the bedroom

Hello,

I have been searching through forums for 3 days to find a solution to my problem and I'm desperate. I have the latest Free box. One ADSL box in the living room. The other TV box in the living room too but on a different socket next to my TV. I would like to install two other TVs in two bedrooms where there are no antenna sockets. So, I had the 'brilliant' idea of buying a pack of 3 powerline adapters XAVT1601 from Netgear, thinking, as stated on the box, that it would be very simple. After reading everything, I plugged in my powerline adapters, I tried to connect, and no luck. The lights on the 3 powerline adapters are green except for the Ethernet light!!! I called Free, and they told me to get lost since I didn't buy it from them. I called Netgear, and after 35 minutes they told me that my sockets are faulty. What should I do, please? My Free plugs are green and well connected. How can I receive TV in 2 bedrooms without antenna sockets? Can someone help me? SOS

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 9.0

Hello,
If I understood correctly, you connected your Freebox in your living room, placed one Powerline adapter in your living room and another one in your bedroom. But you can't receive television in your bedroom via the connection from your Powerline adapters unless you have a second decoder in the bedroom. The Powerline adapters only transmit a data stream that must be decoded by a decoder (it's not an antenna connection).
There is an equivalent for an antenna connection via Powerline ( https://www.ldlc.com/ ). The principle is to connect the wall antenna output in your living room to a splitter and connect this splitter to a Powerline adapter. Then, just place another Powerline adapter in the desired room and connect an antenna cable from this Powerline adapter to the TV. But these are special Powerline adapters that have nothing to do with the standard data transmission Powerline adapters.

Uh... It's not an antenna cable coming out of the Neli box to the TV, but an HDMI cable. The Neli system has the merit of existing, but it is still unbelievably expensive. Much more expensive than installing an additional TV wall socket by a professional antenna installer, that's for sure.

Hello, I have a somewhat similar issue if I understood correctly. Actually, I would like to have the TV in my bedrooms. I have one with an antenna socket and an Ethernet socket, and the other one has only an Ethernet socket. I have 2 TNT decoders, but when connecting a T socket with 2 antenna cables to the wall socket, there isn’t enough signal strength, and it lags a lot. I would like to know if we can use an Ethernet socket to solve the problem so that we can receive TV properly in both bedrooms.
Thank you for your replies.
