You'll find various videosender systems on this page.

The wireless range of "Videosenders", such as the "Digisender" DG200 and DG400, which will transmit the picture and sound to the 2nd TV and will transmit the remote control commands back to the Digibox or whatever. The 2nd TV must have a socket for A/V input. This will normally be a Scart socket or three phono (RCA) sockets.

If you are unsure about the suitability of a specific product, please email me with full details of your equipment and what you want to achieve. Please understand that the final results are very dependent on your existing equipment, the way it is connected, your house layout and other factors which I can't guess unless you mention them.

PhantomPlus (replaces Phantom PVR)

The PhantomPlus brings together your VCR and standard Sky Digibox. Using the Sky Guide, select a programme that you want to record. When it's about to start, the Sky box sends a signal to the Scart socket that your Phantom PVR is plugged into. The device then sends an infrared signal telling your VCR to turn on, select the channel and start recording, just as if you were there and pushing the buttons! You still have to put a tape in but it's a lot cheaper than SKY+. (Be sure to select "Scart control ON" in the Digibox "Picture settings" menu - press "Services" then 41).

Phantom+ turns any video recording device (VCR, DVDR, PC, HDD) into a virtual PVR.

Phantom+ is first 'taught' the commands necessary to control your recorder and the channel number necessary to record from your digital receiver. It is attached to the receiver's "VCR" socket by means of the plug-through connector and the main unit is attached to the side or top of the receiver or recorder by its magnetic base. Once fitted Phantom+ can be forgotten, and will never need reprogramming unless you upgrade your recorder.

Phantom+ is simplicity itself to use. All you have to do is to select your programs via the on-screen guide or internal timer, select AUTOVIEW or RECORD (depending on your receiver) and Phantom+ will take care of the rest.

When the program comes due Phantom+ will turn on the recorder, select the correct channel, and begin recording.

When the program is over it will stop recording and switch the recorder back to standby.

• Phantom+ is powered entirely from the digital receiver.
• Phantom+ new features; Instant operation, no charge-up time required.
• DVDR mode, special mode for improved automatic operation with DVD recorders.
• SS mode, an extra emission mode to cope with even the most awkward recorders.
• Higher power, even higher IR output than the previous version.
• The unique features of Phantom+ are the subject of UK and European patent applications.

Includes 2 x CR2032 Lithium 3v cells. Spare cells can be ordered at top of page3.

  Disadvantages

  OK, that's the sales blurb and it's mostly true but I have to point out that this uses a low-power, high frequency transmitter and, like all such devices, there's no way it can ever give better results than cable - except it *does* carry stereo audio. But these devices have a limited transmission range (low power) and they *are* susceptible to interference and to movements of people nearby. For a long time I held off stocking a videosender because I *prefer* to be able to guarantee good results. I can't do that when performance depends on distance, on the thickness and content of walls and on the proximity of nearby human beings and metal objects. But customers are demanding these units, so here it is!

  Most of the time the results are good to excellent but you have to understand that there's a chance that your particular installation might not be as good as you'd like. This applies to ALL videosenders and not just this one. Our normal money-back guarantee applies (See Terms & Conditions).

• Another potential problem: it has only one transmission channel so, if your immediate neighbour has a DG200, it's possible that your Sky Digibox remote will change *his* channel and vice-versa. You may also receive *his* pictures and vice-versa.
• All these products use magic eyes which are designed to be placed directly in front of the source device. With a DigiSender the limiting factor is that the unit needs to be attached to the satellite box etc via a scart lead and thus the unit will need to be close to the equipment.
