AEB Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I know that there is a discussion about this somewhere on the forum but I can't work out how to search it any more!I have a digibox receiving free to view stations in my house in France. I know I can attach something to the digibox to get it to transmit a signal around the house which I can pick up on any standard portable radio.Does anyone have the URL of a recommended supplier? (preferably UK based)Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 You can't, I'm afraid, not legally in Europe at least.You can buy video senders, that are just small transmitters that, when used with their own receiver will transmit pictures & sound (but not sound alone) to another TV. They use the "licence exempt" 2.4Ghz frequencies allocated for this purpose.In the FE & the States, you can buy a low-power FM transmitter for use with a standard FM radio (audio only), but these (whilst obviously obtainable via eBay) are a definate no-no over here. Try one at your own risk, but expect your neighbours to hear what you are doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Some time ago we bought a transmitter and a couple of speakers from our local Geant hypermarket to transmit radio from the sat receiver around the house, and in the garden too. It works very well. Yesterday we saw them in the Geant sale at half price! If you buy such a thing in the UK the frequency will be illegal in France and vice versa.Liz (29) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 "If you buy such a thing in the UK the frequency will be illegal in France and vice versa."As the song goes - "It ain't necessarily so...". I wasn't aware of audio-only devices, but if they are legal in France, they will be legal throughout the EU (and vice-versa!).I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 You can get radio speakers which will receive signals from a box attached to the sky box. I understand that these are completely legal, and I know that they are supplied by satellite dish suppliers who advertise in magazines such as Living France.I bought two speakers, plus the box to attach the sky box, for Christmas and they work very well, we can now receive UK radio throughout the house.
