Quick look, setup and demo to 2 TV's to compare. TV on the left tuned in to the modulator, TV on the right on HDMI.

Excellent demonstration 👍
In my setup, the sky HD+ box was connected to the cinema amp and when you turned on the sky box it automatically turned on the amp, which in turn turned on the TV.
Inserting the Modulator between the Sky HD+ box and the amp has broken this sequence so everything has to turned on separately. Is there any way round this as my wife is incandescent at the change!
You suggest updating to the latest software. Where can I find it? It's not on the Technomate site!!
I use an AMIKO TRF-800 modulator. It only comes with the power adapter, has only RF output and HDMI input. By default is set to channel 43 but allows you to change the channel, the resolution is 1080p. It has same problem like Technomate Modulator. The delay is one second I connected my satellite receiver and my computer. I don't recommend for gaming or working. I mostly use for Netflix and HBO GO. Also works with Blu-ray players.
What's the RF output standard? DVB-T or DVB-C or other?
Is there any way to get rid of the 1 second delay (lag). For watching in a sports bar? Or is Cat 6 the only option for this?
Hi, I’m finding the IR only works intermittently, and ideas? The receiver is attached to the front of the sky box and there is no problem getting sky in other rooms, I just can’t change channel.
Have you tried a different brand magic eye? Does the o e supplied with it work better than the others?
Can this work with sky q silver box? The 4K one. Will it convert 4K to 1080p for distribution? (I am told the sky q box only outputs 4K signal, so if I want this to distribute the silver box I will need a second mini box to do it)
You'd have to down scale the resolution to 1080 then distribute it. HD fury did make a splitter before that gave one 1080 output and one 4k output.
A few months ago Chris asked "Can this work with sky q silver box" and the answer was .Now Sky are offering their 1TB box with a UHD capability (with Sky Q experience). Is this box then similarly in need of converting to 1080p? .. and does it output 4k all the time or only when tuned into 4k programme material?
You dont need to convert you have to set the resolution to 1080. It won't accept a 4k input unfortunately. The sky q resolution has to be set to 1080.
I have set mine up in line with this very useful post. I am getting Sky on all of my secondary tv’s but can’t get Freeview channels to work on these tv’s despite the rf in and out being connected. Any ideas?
Is the aerial going into the technomate rf in?
@Matt Mosley try aerial into technomate first then rf out technomate into sky box rf in. Rf2 from sky to your other tv or distribution amplifier. Turn the 9v off on the technomate. Rf2 power on, on the sky box
Hi,
Does anyone know if this Technomate modulator is capable of outputing 1080p 50Hz/fps over RF? I bought an Edision modulator but it only outputs 1080p 30Hz/fps...
Can I use a HD spliiter to remove hdcp, would it affect the technomate, do you think it would work
I bought the latest v6 recently, one issue I’ve noticed is after waking up my sky hd box the video and sound start separately and are out of step, switching to another input and back fixes it but it’s mildly annoying, any ideas what if anything I can do about this ?
where can buy this unit?
TECHNOMATE NEVER DIES
Hi, I bought 2 of these which arrived at the weekend to replace 2 of the old TM-RF HD's that have been working perfectly for a couple of years , I just wanted the IR function. these have an aerial into RF in , first box RF out to 2nd box RF in then the output is fed to Labgear LDL208 amplifier in the roof - I configured both exactly as the previous had been setup but when I installed -the tv's only find the two channels set at 800 and 801. Perfect picture but when auto scanning on the tv's, that's all the channels it finds ie 2 channels -its as if the aerial signal is not being fed through .I tried also direct connections to 1 box, Again scanning finds the modulator but nothing else. I am sure it's a configuration issue . I did not try changing the advanced settings - Any ideas what the issue could be ?
Any help would be much appreciated
Does the amp have ir bypass? Also I'm not sure that you can have ir passing to both boxes probably just the one connected to the amplifier. Also have you set the rf channels to be different to each other and on the spare rf frequencies in your area?
@@TellyDan Hi , yes the amp does have IR pass through . I haven't actually even tried enabling the IR function yet on the modulators (ie left it switched off on both ) yes one is on Channel 40 the other 55 - This was working perfectly with the old TM-RF HD boxes without the IR function.Maybe I will try defaulting the boxes in case these have been setup previously - I did write to technomate but no reply from them yet
UPDATE- I have just tried defaulting and starting from scratch and bypassed the amplifier -ie tried direct on a tv using the individual aerial feed via RF IN and RF out to the TV - it all appears to be working normally and I can scan for channels finding both the modulator and all terrestrial signals - so the box is working fine - I will do the same with the second and see if that works - I will then try and cascade them again -if they work without the amplifier then it is the amplifier that is the problem - I will check tomorrow and update here -thanks for your assistance
@@Fit4LessCaspianWharf no worries keep us updated. The trial an error procedure sounds right
@@TellyDan Solved , After much messing about I found the issue The original TM RF HD boxes are incorrectly labelled or wired internally incorrectly .The RF out is actually the RF In and vice versa (is correct on the new TM RF HD IR's) I can see all 4 boxes and all freeview channels , perfect picture on all.The only issue I am having now is getting the IR function to work , If you insert the IR emitters into the 2 boxes and switch them both on (Blue led on both),The TV signal is lost , TV signal comes back if you switch 1 of the IR switches off . Blue led remains lit on both boxes ,however IR function does not respond
Is there something similar that will just pass back the IR commands from say bedroom back to lounge? I want to ditch sky, and move to BT YouView, getting the hdmi to bedroom is fine, but then it’s how I get the IR magic eye signal back to the YouView Pro box ?
I think lindy do a wireless ir sender that is small and supposed to be good
Hi you programmed it as ch39 but on the TV it's ch800 ?
39 is the uhf frequency number. 800 is the stored channel id number. One of your technomate needs the id setting to 799
Can this output HDMI to an analog channel? Or both, digital and analog?
Edin M I think this only outputs HDMI to a digital channel. Anyone correct me if I’m wrong please.
can it dvd player hdmi to telly rf?
Can anyone tell me and help, does this work with the sky q 1tb box, I had one installed recently and now I dont have any way of watching sky in another room, many thanks for your help.
Yes, it does work with he Sky Q box
Will this work trough a Multiswitch?
Aerial distribution amplifier?
Hi I install one of these about 6 months ago all works great apart from all channels on number 37 have a very week signal , i have tried several different set up numbers but still the same. How do find out the best number for my area ? (Nottingham) Or any other ideas
Thanks Graham
You could check on freeview uk to see what the multiplex numbers are in your area and set your technomate to be as far away from them as possible
Hello, from where can i find and download the latest firmware?
not sure I tried the technomate website with no luck
Can I connect the output of this device to the input of DVR system ?
If it accepts the 8meg signal then you should be able to yes
Question , if i am at the next house and scan rf aerial i can tune in at your box ? (see what you see )
I've replaced my old io link with sky hd, getting ready for sky q , I just took rf in and rf out of io link and plugged into rf in and rf out on technomate. But no signal whatsoever on my other TV. Any ideas where I'm going wrong
Have you put the hdmi from the sky into it? You need to set the rf output number to something that doesn't clash with freeviw channels. Then tune in the tvs around the house, it should be on channel 800 on the other tvs
Ps I think the default rf number is 21, you could try 68?
@@TellyDan I've done all that. When I go to my other tvs no signal whatsoever ever before I even retune
@@richardatkinson5894 is the rf power turned on?
@@TellyDan on sky? I presume so io link works fine
Just bought this modulator and setup as per this video using a Sky+HD box. The RF out is connected to a 4 way distributor in the loft and both remote TVs are now working great with Sky. Had been watching analogue Sky picture quality for all these years, wish this was available many years ago. Also both remote TVs have magic eye setup, I had to turn off the 9v from the Sky box and turn on 9v on the modulator and now all magic eyes are working perfectly.
I do have a problem with both remote TVs Freeview channels. The picture and sound quality are fine on the Freeview channels but that is until buttons are pressed on the TV remote control then the picture and sound would breakup on each press of button. For example turning up and down TV volume, with each press of the remote control, the picture and sound would breakup then return to normal. Any ideas why?
I found this the other day when I installed one. Every time I used a button it interfered but it never did when i installed them before
For now you could revert back to using the sky ir system and having the technomate for the picture
TellyDan what do you mean by using the Sky ir system but keeping the picture?
Do you have rf outputs or io link on the sky hd? If so put the aerial into the technomate than out to sky rf in then sky rf2 to aerial amp
TellyDan At present I have aerial into Sky HD. Sky RF2 into Technomate RF in. Then Technomate RF out into loft distribution box.
Also Sky HDMI out to Technomate HDMI in and HDMI our from Technomate into local TV.
Recently installed this to replace the classic tvlink rf out 2 system and it works brilliantly. I wish we had done it years ago as the Hd picture and stereo sound is so much better than the analogue mono affair it replaces.
I have now also been able to replace my sky HD box with SkyQ and maintain the loft distribution of the HD signal over the digital channel and the sky eye IR functions.
However this does require a new SkyQ IR remote in all the other rooms as the old Sky+ / SkyHD ones don’t work with SkyQ boxes.
I appreciate the touch remotes are Bluetooth but I don’t want to carry that around the house
One question, whilst I appreciate the remote TVs are only ever 1080p is it possible to use a splitter between the SkyQ box and technomate modulator so I can still feed the local TV with Ultra HD and then look to replace my 1080p local TV to 4K?
Feeding one splitter out to the local Tv (thus 4K) and the other to the modulator (1080p)
I have found the following product. www.technomate.com/products/TM%252d2-4K-SP.html
You need a HDMI scale that outputs full 4k to one port and down scales the second port to 1080p. Hd connectivity did one I'll see if I can get the model. You could try googling hdmi scaler.
This is just what I want to hear. My Sky HD set up is on it's way out and I'm going to have to upgrade to Sky Q soon, but really don't want to lose the RF2 out, this will hopefully be an easy solution!
10 secs into your vid you say it will go UPTO 1080p, i've bought one and it will not feed my other tv which is 720p, i have since found this on the technomate website " TV must be 1080p Full HD or 4K UHD (HD Ready models are not compatible"
I've got 720p tvs that accept a 1080 input and they're fine. Depends on the freeview tuner as well. So of the old ones dont accept the 8meg signal
@@TellyDan . i've tried it on 3 different 720p tvs all with the same outcome, they do pickup the freeview channels but they wont play the sky Q (channel 800) do you think a set top box at the receiving tv end could be the solution so it converts the signal into hdmi ?
@@TellyDan also the 720p tvs do play the signal but only through the hdmi output not the RF feed, is it that the hdmi input convert mpeg4 but the RF doesn't ? cheers
@@TellyDan i've bought a hd freeview tuner with mpeg 4 and hdmi connection and hey presto ! works a treat.
Listen, man. You're probably gonna get a large amount of comments talking about Technoblade. Just know that Technoblade is a Minecraft RUclipsr who is extremely popular at the moment. His friend name Philza often refers to him as "Technomate," not knowing of this product. So, that's just to clear up any confusion if anyone says "Technomate never dies" or something.
Oh god.
