Alanc Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm not certain whether this is the right place to post this query but... we have recently had a dish fitted to our home in France and this together with the freeview box enables us to receive a wide range of UK tv and radio stations. The radio signal has previously always been poor but this problem is now 'sorted' with the installation of the dish and box. We would like to be able to listen to the radio in rooms other than where the box and tv are situated, eg kitchen, dining room etc. We don't mind if it's via a wired system or wireless but I'm looking for some means of getting the signal to these other rooms. I would like to be able to use some discreet speakers but don't want to pay a fortune. Any ideas ? alanc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernice Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I am very pleased with the cordless speakers I bought from this company - http://www.bigdishsat.comhttp://www.bigdishsat.com/store/index.php?goto=catalog&cat=9Bernice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 The small transmitters that are sold to work with iPods and other mp3 players work with my Sky box . I assume that the Freesat boxes might also have audio connectors so that you can connect to hifi systems or whatever. If so you can use one of these transmitters and then receive the output on any FM radio. You need to tune the output so that it doesn't clash with a locally broadcast frequency but should meet your needs OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 And what's wrong with the volume control [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Warning freesat boxes do not have audio connections for RCA plugs like Sky Digiboxes. Solution is to either use an SCART RCA piggy back lead or use theSPDIF - Digital Audio Out output into a modern HiFi amplifier and then long wires.

microwave mike Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 No ... some don't but the Grundig Standard Definition certainly has audio phonos as do the Humax boxes.MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Have a look on amazon.co.uk there is quite a good selection and cheaper (the ones sold by bigdishsat are about 40 Euros cheaper on amazon). They also have reviews you can read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanc Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Many thanks for all of the responses. I recall ( not in France at the mo') that the freeview box doesn't have the necessary connections but the various suggestions have given me some ideas - that is with the exception of the one from ErnieY! I fear that the neighbours would be able to hear the audio better than we would but thanks for the contribution !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViVienne Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 since buying my sky gnome earlier this year I have been really happy with it, the signal strength is really good and I can listen to the radio anywhere in the house or garden with no trailing wires.
