Can I use this product to transmit my picture &amp; sound from my satellite wire in the basement to my TV upstairs (about 30') so as to avoid running wires over my roof and drilling a hole in my house to hook the wire to my TV?

Yes you can. I bought these to use at work for our movie nights, and then took them home to try them out there and they worked really well.

you hook it up to the audio out on the tv, it should work normally, it does not have anything to do with the signal from cable or satellite.

I have a tower antenna and the line comes into the basement and has a splinter that has cables runnin to outlets throughout the house. I connected the amplifier to the cable coming from the antenna and connect the TV plug to the splinter to output the signs to the whole house. Also there is a preamp that it is installed on my outside tower antenna. I live in Urbana Illinos and after installing it I am able to get public television from Matton and commercial television from Terre Haute IN. Occasionally I can get Indianapolis stations.

I think it would work fine, however being in the basement may require an amplified antenna for better reception. This antenna works but is not "multi directional" imo as it gets different signals based on the direction it faces.

I mounted mine on the corner of my house attached to a couple of sections of pipe and got it up pretty high and it work very well. I was getting a 5 mile range until all the sudden I couldn't get a mile and I don't know what happened but for the time it worked really well in that configuration I used about 50 feet of coax

On the setup I have, transmitter and receiver are separated by approximately 17 feet with a wall of concrete in the middle and both image and sound work perfectly with no issues at all...I have no idea if it can reach the distance you need - it seems too far as they are not designed for long distances...hope my comment helps.

This can be done. It is similar to the use I did. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the performance and I feel that it would work much better if I had placed it higher or outside. My desire was to get an HD channel and I found it not much better than the dipole I had previously used.

my tv had 1 hdmi so i hooked this up to my direct tv dvr used a hdmi rf link to send the picture to my basement from the second floor in doing this you will want your second tv on hdmi signal from your input on your tv menu since i only used this for 1 im guessing it can be used for more .you can use any dirct tv remote on your rf link to control the upstairs channels menu or recorded shows or movies to watch. it saved me lots of time and wiring the house and drilling holes. hope this helps

It would probably work but i have mine hooked to a tv and only get two channels and this is upstairs so i doubt if you&lt;ll get good reception in a basement

I would go with the more expensive boosters for basement applications. I am on the first floor and have it mounted to the top of a window next to my desk. Signal strength goes from one bar to four most of the time. They have a unit that is mounted to the roof and boosts the signal for everywhere in the house. It was about $150 last time I checked, and it was well rated.

I believe so. That was my intention when I hung it through a hole in the ceiling and wanted to put the wires running through the attic. My electrician didn't want to do that so I ended up having to do it myself just through the walls. Also, if you're using a cable box, the box has to be within sight so those wires from the screen to the box wouldn't be hidden anyway.

Thank you for your question! This product is designed to be used in the confinements of your home, and may not be effective for your situation.

Yes! Hooked it up to the spare satellite box I had in mechanical room in my garage. We did put the sensors outside the door to the mechanical room so only garage door was between the sensors and the garage across the street (about 250'+ away). We had IR before but it went out and couldn't get replacements to work. They kept malfunctioning/burning out. This has been working for 6+ months now and actually has better response when changing channels than other system we had. We channeled cable from main house underground to the remote garage along with transmitter but the transmitter went down. Box is in main house. Happy to finally have a solution! Yes!

In the "before you buy" section, it says that it only boosts the signal horizontally, not vertically, so it may not help with the basement signal much! Let us know if it does, though!

I guess that depends on how far away the satellite speaker is.....the cable I got is 15 feet long so it would allow you to place the speaker about 15 feet from the sound bar. You decide.

You can install this outside on your roof, or inside in your attic space. It hooks up to your tv with a regular coax cable. It's a very strong antenna. If you live out in the boonies, you might need a signal amplifier too.

Nope! Works very well. I use it to connect a desktop to a projector that is over 15 feet away and I have no issues at all.
