CHANNEL PLUS 5425 Dual Channel Rf Modulator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My main TV system (HD, with TiVO and DVD player) is located in the Living Room. I have multiple TV's throughout the house (kitchen, office, bedroom, etc.), but only one TiVO. So I wanted to be able to send the TiVO signal to my other TV's. After some research as to what others were doing, I determined that I needed an RF Modulator, and based on the reviews, I selected the Channel Plus 5425.

But I really lucked out with respect to wiring. Many people have a single cable drop, and have to jump through some hoops trying to push a signal *back* up the cable to other TV's in the home. Fortunately, I live in a locality that originally required what we call "A-B Cable" for cable TV. Basically, instead of a single drop, every room had to have TWO cable drops - an A-side and a B-side. Some channels were delivered on the A-side, while others were delivered on the B-side.

Well, of course, that's long-since gone out of style - but the A/B cable is still there, and only one of the two cables are used with today's modern cable systems. So, I simply connected the output of the Channel Plus to the unused cable drop, added a splitter in the attic to route the signal to the other rooms (again, on the unused cable), attached the cable to the TV's cable input, and voila! I was in business. I can now watch pre-recorded content from my TiVO on any TV in the home! How sweet is that? All I need now is an RF remote control (or extender) for my TiVO, so that I can control it (Play, Pause, Stop, FF, etc.) from another room.

As for the Channel Plus 5425, it's perfect. It was super-easy to set up, and in no time at all, I had it programmed for an unused channel. The video and audio quality are excellent, signal strength is plenty adequate (though not too much). Note that the audio is mono (even though it requires L-R inputs), but I won't miss stereo on these other TV's.

All in all, I'm very pleased. I think it's a great value for the money. It's well-built (metal case - not plastic) and looks nice (black and blends in with my other equipment). It's small, so it's easy to tuck out of the way. If you need a quality RF Modulator that delivers, this is it.

RCA CRF940 RF Modulator & Video Switcher with Gold-Plated Connectors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have had 2 of these items, and both have failed.The first after 9 months, and the store and RCA told us we were out of luck.We then got a second one, since it was the only one we could find at the time locally, and this time it came with it's own external DC Adaptor, whereas the first one was internally converting the 120V AC.

The systems failed in basically the same way, you plug it in and it goes into some kind of power overage shut off.It will work for the nano-second when it is initially plugged in and then shut off.

The 9V, 100mA DC adaptor appears to be functioning properly.

When it works, it does a great job.We tried a similar Radio Shack item and that thing was horrible with all kinds of cross over feed from the other channels.

I just want something that lasts!Guess I will have to get a new TV now or something....

Product Description:
RCA's CRF940 is the perfect accessory for managing competing devices on televisions with minimal inputs--not to mention enjoying DVD players or other audio/video components through older, non-"cable ready" television sets. The CRF940 accepts video inputs from four separate source components in three separate formats (one RF and four each composite-video and S-video) and routes their AV signals through its tri-format AV outputs. One of the CRF940's four sets of AV inputs is built into the front panel, facilitating spontaneous hookups of camcorders, VCRs, video game players, or other devices.
This would also be a fine asset for transferring S-VHS video or camcorder content to an older VCR lacking the requisite composite-video (yellow RCA jack) or S-video (black five-pin) inputs. Accompanying sets of stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio inputs handles the source sound.
The unit's gold-plated audio and video connectors ensure maximal conductivity and minimal corrosion so you can set it and forget it--the terminals won't need cleaning for two years. A VCR-like output switch lets you select channel three or four for your TV viewing when using the RF output, and a red front-panel LED indicates power status. A supplied AC/DC adapter plugs into the rear-panel DC input jack.
What's in the Box
Switcher, AC power adapter, and an instruction sheet.
