installing tv outlet socket / plug. Help!
Jul 28, 2008 @ 12:20

Due to some personal preferences, I have converted the bedroom in my apartment into living room and vice versa. Doing this, now I do not have any TV outlet socket / plug where I can connect the reception cable (antennae) in my living room. I don’t fancy the idea of having long extension cable going across from one room to the other.


Anyone has a contact of good (and affordable) electrician who could do this? I called one electrician but the price he estimated is about 300-400CHF for this..I am hoping I could get a better deal.. Any suggestion is welcomed!

 

Thank you J

Alternatively you could use a wireless transmitter instead of a long cable , these are less than 100chf.

yes, just be sure that the wireless transmitter can take the un-modulted antenna signal from the wall socket. most wireless systems have to have a modulated signal. what this means is that you have to have your VHS tape recorder ( remember those :-) or UHF receiving device ( even a dvd might work as well ) and have the UHF output from the device feed into the wireless transmitter. the wireless receiving device will sit in you bedroom next to the TV and feed into the UHF antenna input. got it....all clear, right. :-). cheers, roger
