• Wireless TV signal repeater. Home TV via WiFi: WiFire TV

    I purchased this device to transmit the AV signal of tricolor television to a second TV in the kitchen via wireless communication. Read below to see what came of it.

    To begin with, I’ll immediately inform you that this is my first review on the site and I ask you to treat it accordingly. The review is written in ordinary language for the same ordinary home user.
    Now to the point.
    The room has a GS-8300N tricolor television receiver to which the TV is connected. The task was to connect a second TV (in the kitchen) to the receiver without having to run wires throughout the apartment.
    For this purpose, Receiver PAT630 was purchased on Ali. From the description it follows that this receiver operates at 5.8GHz frequencies, which allows it not to interfere with home Wi-Fi.
    The purchase cost $43.19 and it took about a month and a half to reach me; the goods were sent to me after I reminded the seller (apparently, the Chinese holidays that were taking place at that time had an effect).
    The packaging of the device did not have any flaws. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any photos, but I can say in words that there was standard bubble wrap on top of the box itself (quite hard), which left little chance for our mail to ruin my mood.
    The box contents are as follows:
    receiver/transmitter – 2 pieces;
    power adapter ( european plug) – 2 pieces;
    RCA cable – 2 pieces;
    instructions – 1 piece.

    Self the device is lightweight, the body is made of cheap plastic, but it looks good. You can place it both horizontally and vertically (to do this you need to unscrew the bolt and install the device vertically in the grooves), the antennas, of course, rotate as you please.


    There is only a blue LED on the front panel to indicate that the device is turned on.


    On the rear panel there are ports for connecting RCA cables (colored), a connector for connecting a power supply, gray button turning on/off the device and toggle switches for switching signal channels.


    For fans of horror films and dismemberment, I have attached a photo of the insides of this device. Disassembly is carried out by unscrewing a couple of screws and pulling the board towards you; this cannot be difficult a priori.

    Internals






    From all these pictures it is clear that in this device there is no possibility of transmitting an IR signal (remote control signal), which does not allow you to switch channels on a second TV without going to the GS-8300N receiver itself, however, I would especially note that this is my personal omission, because this was not stated and in more expensive models present. The board is clearly made one for the entire line of models. The antenna mount suggests that if necessary, it will always be possible to mount a directional antenna in the required direction, but this will require straight arms.

    To connect a new Chinese device to my GS-8300N receiver, it was necessary to “split” the outgoing signal into two cables. For this purpose, I also purchased a cable on Ali (from another seller), but it turned out to be non-working (the money was returned) and I had to buy it the old fashioned way on the market, so as not to wait another couple of months.

    Connecting the device is purely intuitive and reading the instructions is completely optional, but the very presence of it warms the soul.

    Instructions











    We connect the first device to the receiver, the second device is connected to the TV in the far corner of the apartment (in my case, in the kitchen). For me personally, the distance between TVs is not as great as I think, and for many in the apartment (about 5 meters), however, one load-bearing wall (510 mm) and one partition (100 mm) fall within the coverage area, which should create additional difficulties for signal transmission.

    Next, you need to set the same channel on the toggle switches on both devices (move it down as in the photo at the beginning).
    We connect the devices to the network, configure our TV to the AV channel and check the functionality of this “design”.

    In my case, everything works fine, there is no loss of signal quality, sound and picture are synchronous. When you turn on both TVs at the same time, no problems arise. Due to the device operating at a Wi-Fi frequency of 5.8GHz, my home Wi-Fi The router (operating at 2.4 GHz) does not affect the signal quality in any way, although it is located exactly on the line of action.
    Let me make a reservation right away that the channel on both TVs will be the same. (don’t even dream that without purchasing a second satellite receiver and installing additional devices on a plate you can get around it).

    Result:
    I've been using it for a couple of months now, not a single problem.
    An excellent device for those who need to transmit an AV signal without cutting walls and unnecessary wires. Can be used to transmit video camera signals to a regular TV, and to transmit TV signal at a country house. However, I personally recommend taking a closer look at the version with an IR transmitter.
    Thank you for your attention.

    I’ll disappoint you right away - most likely there will not be an acceptable result.
    You can install a signal amplifier, and after it an antenna, for example, an indoor one. At a close distance, the TV will probably show without an antenna, but it is better to stick an antenna, a piece of wire or a nail. If the TV channels are in the UHF range, then maybe they will show more or less, and if they are in the UHF range, then most likely there will be repetitions in the image on the screen. But you won’t get a clean picture for sure. For each channel you will have to rotate antennas and all that, and the amplifier costs money. I won’t write the details of the theory - just believe me. In general, dancing with tambourines is guaranteed. It's better to stretch the cable anyway. Nowadays there is a digital DVB-T2 signal on the air everywhere, and new TVs receive this signal, and, by the way, they can work normally with it.
    The option with transmitters is generally not suitable for high-frequency signals from an antenna. Transmitters (TV signal extenders) are designed for devices with low-frequency inputs and outputs; the high-frequency signal from the antenna will first have to be demodulated and then transmitted, but a separate demodulator is configured only for one channel, and it cannot be controlled remotely. Well, you can put a TV or, for example, an old VCR on the antenna side, take the low-frequency signal from them, buy another remote control extension, and switch channels remotely. There are also remote control extenders with a signal transmitter, but in general the signal from the transmitter is sensitive to closed doors, people walking back and forth, etc. (if the signal is transmitted throughout the apartment and throughout the house). At one time we tried several different ones - everyone spat on them.
    In any case, the quality over the cable will be better, and the whole system will be simpler. At good signal and the cable is up to 50 meters long and an amplifier is not needed.
    If you intend to transmit a signal over a certain distance in an open area, then an acceptable option may be obtained if the receiving antenna at the last point is closed from the main signal, for example, it is located under a hill, otherwise repetitions on the screen are almost inevitable. In this case, the receiving antenna and transmitting antennas at the relay point must be separated, otherwise the amplifier may be excited. Previously, in some places on the mountains they placed passive repeaters, “bending” the signal downhill, but this is a very large structure: depending on the frequency of the TV signal, up to several tens of meters.
    In order to get an acceptable picture on the screen and not have problems with low-quality cables for subscribers, cable operators almost never use direct amplification with terrestrial antennas, but convert terrestrial TV signals to others frequency channels, and, if possible, do not use at all in cable networks those frequency channels that are occupied on the air.
