Connecting 2 TVs to an Orange TV decoder

Solved/Closed
Hello,
I installed a decoder for the Orange TV, everything is working well.
But I would like to connect a second TV, which is located quite far from the Livebox.
How can I do this? Can I extend the Ethernet cable?
Thank you for your responsesConfiguration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

  1. Hi,

    the Ethernet cable goes from the Livebox to the decoder, and you connect to the TV from the decoder using a SCART cable, so how would extending the Ethernet cable allow you to receive anything? You would either need a second decoder, and I don't think that's currently planned by Orange, or a wireless transmitter to send the image from the SCART cable to another TV set.
    But at that point, you'd have the same channel on both TVs.

    1. Thank you for your response.
      On the Orange documentation, it says: Connect the Livebox to the switch with an Ethernet cable, connect the switch to the two decoders with an Ethernet cable or the Liveplug.

    2. @kiki1949So, information taken from orange.fr,

      you need to subscribe to the multiposte option that allows you to receive a second decoder from Orange, then connect an Ethernet switch like this one for example to the live box, which will allow you to connect up to 5 Ethernet cables and then run an Ethernet cable to each decoder or replace this cable with CPL adapters like these to use the existing electrical network instead of running a cable through the house!

      See you later

    3. @Toufou13190A second decoder is sufficient in addition to the powerline adapters and the Ethernet cable.

    4. @Toufou13190Hello

      I don't understand what the switch is for if we are using powerline adapters.

    5. @raph29Your Livebox has only 2 Ethernet ports, but since you have 1 PC and 2 Set-top boxes, that makes 3 Ethernet cables. If your powerline adapter accepts having two receiver units for one transmitter unit, you don’t need the switch. However, if they only work in pairs, you will need a switch to connect 3 cables to one port!
