Can I use this to transmit from a FIOS box in a hallway closet to a tv 30 ft away? Have only 1 tv and would like to avoid cable wires in the hallway.

In addition to my last answer, your FIOS box must have a RCA output to connect to the Nyrius transmitter.

Yes. This is a great device. Almost doesn't matter what model tv/device, as long as it has a/v out jacks.
1139774
Yes! I use these for my set up. Mine are transmitting to about fifty feet and through several walls. The picture and sound are great. I highly recomend this product.

have no idea what a FIOS box is. if it puts out a TV signal I would assume that it would work.

I have a related but slightly different question. If I have Comcast and use this device as the transmitter (plugged into my router), can I use an old FiOS router in my living room as the receiver? Trying to determine if this would work so I can buy the single pack instead of the twin pack.

Yes, I have it going through 2 wall plates with 30ft between and then another 20ft from one wall plate to cable box. I have Zero problems with it. Used every day for over a year. And I used cheap cable. I think I had tried a splitter at cable box output with problems. Dead. But I feel that was my choice of splitter.

I'm sorry but that will not work. The cable box would have it's own separate remote, and the remote you are looking at buying is only intended to be programmed for one device (I.e. TV only, NOT tv and cable box). So it would really only work with an antenna or direct-line cable (a cable that goes from wall directly to TV with no box in between) that you would normally change the channels with only the TV remote.

Yes. It was like it was made for Verizon FIOS. If youre going to use in a room with coax hookup and have a STB already connected you will need a 2.4GHZ bidirectional slitter and 2 RG6 cables. Works great. You only need one ECB2500

Absolutely. My cable box is in the wall behind my TV and this thing works fantastically for repeating the signal. That is of course if you cable box remote is sending it's signal over IR and not RF.

As long as the FIOS equipment you are using is IF (infared) it should be compatible. IF means that you have to point your FIOS remote control at the box (FIOS receiver, setup top box, etc...) in order to change channels and use other functions of the receiver. If you have a box that is RF (radio frequency controlled) meaning you can be in another room and change a channel, then this is something you do not need. Remember that any device with IR can use this repeater system. Just be careful if you are using a Plasma TV.

I actually tried it without a Verizon box, hooking the FIOS cable directly to the MDR-515 and asked it to auto channels with cable, analog/digital. I got lots of clear and sharp channels but not all, and it was hard to tell what are those channels, many seems to be repeat of the few basic channels. Phillip

O.K. So far so good==Got the system working with your suggestion of a FIOS STB box.Using a splitter I now can watch one program and record another== Here's the rub=== When setting the recording I don't understand how to indicate the Channel to record =-= all I get L1/ L2 /Ch3.. How can I set the channel wanted???

Bob: Check with your cable or sat box company. Generally not good for boxes (electronics below 40*F. TV's same way. I ran tie in to sat feed off one of the coax's. Check on google search for more answers.

Yes I have DIRECT TV in my bedroom and didn't want to pay the extra for another receiver in my office so I use this and it transmits whatever is on the TV in my bedroom to my office.

It depends how the wires run and if you can have access to the individual conductors. The connectors just loop around the individual wire so they must be accessible. The transmitter is not weatherproof and there is only 12-18 inches of wire so you would need a way to protect the transmitter unit. If it is outside the house, the wireless connection to the receiver may be a little limited but I have had success with the receiver at least 30 feet away with several wall in between.

I am not sure on the distance limitations. I live in a 2200 square-foot two-story. The main unit is located in my basement and receiver is above it on the first floor. I have not had any problems with the signal. I have had it for over one year and I am still very pleased with it.

My balun feeds off a splitter. Incoming signal split with one cable going to cable box and the other cable hooked to balun and converted to Cat5e cable. Approx. 75ft run to second balun attached to second cable box. I would think it should work if signal is split from a coax cable prior to be connected to cable or satellite box. Mine works great and the Cat5e can be tucked between baseboard and carpet out of sight. Makes a nice install.

Really, you will have to experiment with that. Normally, one or two feet would be sufficient for receiving signals. Since that antenna also transmits, it could interfere with your tv antenna. I would try to get 5 or 6 feet from the tv antenna if possible. If not, put it where you can, the cell power is very low and higher in frequency, so It should work fine.

Yes. I use Verizon FiOS HD TV service and I have two cablecards for the dual channel capability. Please note: The signal coming from FiOS is very powerful, and in many cases too powerful for the TiVo. I had to purchase a "db attenuator" which is a small plug that goes inline with the incoming coax cable. I am using a 20db attenuator. Without the attenuator you may get signal problems/pixelation. If you go into "Messages & Settings" and click on "Diagnostics" you will see "SN Ratio" (Signal to Noise Ratio). The sweet spot for TiVo Series 3 is "31db - 32db". If it's more than that you may get choppy picture.

I was using this with the MW1424 which is there latest fios router. Not sure what you mean by ont. Make sure you use the recommended splitter if using with a stb(set top box for your tv) Extremely fast and a great way to avoid the cost and hassle of running cable.
