Bathroom TV & Sky Q
Discussion
Afternoon knowledgable chums
I`m after some advice if poss`
We re-did the main bathroom 6 years ago and fitted a Proofvision waterproof TV in the end of the bath. This has worked perfectly with Sky HD via hidden magic eye.
About a year ago, I upgraded to Sky Q and the engineer sold me an extra Mini box and bluetooth remote so I could put it in the loft and operate the remote from the bath.
This works fine for about 5 minutes, then cuts out. Having gone from pillar to post over the last 12 months, it transpires the TV won`t accept the uprated HDMi input and Proofvision have no solution other than to buy and fit a new TV (which is now a different size, so won`t fit on the same backplate!).
Does anyone have a work-around that I haven`t thought of at all?
Cheers in advance
Dave

I can't help at all i'm afraid but i'd just like to say.. What an awesome problem to have haha.
Surely making do with a normal HD HDMI would suffice like what you had with your original sky box?
Unfortunately not, as the original set up was via a co-ax from the RF Out of the bedroom Sky HD box.Surely making do with a normal HD HDMI would suffice like what you had with your original sky box?
The bedroom now has it`s own Mini box (feeding 2 other rooms via HDMi matrix).
I cannot connect an older Sky HD box as there is no longer any Co-ax cable feeds to the bedroom, just 2 from a new Sky Q LNB to the Lounge and the minis then connect to that box via Wifi.
Very confusing

Close but no cigar it would appear!

"Unfortunately it looks unlikely this wont. The old TVs according to factory are HDCP 1.2 I have been told today"
Ok, no problem, I`ll find a v2.2 to v1.2 converter..............................except there doesn`t seem to be any!!

Not cheap but https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technomate-TM-RF-HD-HDMI-... and go back to using the coax
I use one of these for my bathroom tv...
SkyQ 4k to HDMI Splitter.
One signal into Yamaha Amp then on to Main TV with Dolby surround sound
One signal into Denon Amp then split to Bedroom TV (4K) other output to HDFury Linker into bathroom tv 720p

Another vote for this. Send HD over coax ... have used these on house-wide systems previously. Cheaper than swapping out the TV.Gassing Station | Home Cinema & Hi-Fi | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
