  Simple to use and gives a good basic indication on the state of your LAN cable. Self explanatory. The TX & Receive units were set next to each other and the cable tested. I had a 4 and 5 cross and 8 dis. If the cable is run in before you crimp the RG45 connector, you only need to look at the RX...

  I bought some where the conductor's stick through the ends, so you can check before you crimp. I've also had some with a guide you thread the conductor through, before you you insert (ooh matron) and crimp. I've taken photos too. Very useful, as I have old person's eyes IE My long vision has...

  I am going to try a length of cable and use jumpers to put crosses in ETC, see what the results are and report back.

  As I said I had a problem with knackered crimper which left open circuits on my CAT6 network cable. I bought a continuity tester for £2.48. Its pretty basic but for the money it's well worth it. I've even found a problem with an existing CAT5 cable...

  I must have had a rogue machine Trev. I bought a Technomate HDMI to CAT convertor for £40.00. It's the one with a HDMI splitter on the TX and POE. Used a short Ethernet lead to test and it worked OK. Spent about two hours trying to get it to work consistently over 20M of CAT6 which I'd put plugs...

  Only just saw this Trev. The screw ones are a bit like SCART. They work until you move them and then they're a bit hit or miss. I returned the modulator to Amazon as it kept of falling over. I'm still considering an alternative. Any further suggestions?

  I did a factory reset and its working again. I'll stick with it and see how we go. One thing I have to do is get some crimp F connectors and a crimper. Not something I've ever had much use for.

  I have the same issue. I'm sure it used to show up on Windows 7 explorer. All the other media servers and PC's do, but not the T2. I can access it via the Web Interface. I'll try installing Samba and see if that sorts it.

  There are no amplifiers in the system, not even a masthead amp. When I've got it up and running, I might try a resistive passive network to inject the antenna signal into the feed, which will introduce a 3db loss of course. Just thought tonight, how long before we do this sort of stuff over...

  I thought it was unlikely. I'll run out about 15 meters of cat5, put a couple of plugs on and see how it performs before routing it through the house. I have hears mention that they can be a bit "glitchy".
