How to get pay TV and DVR in two rooms without paying your cable company for another box
While cord cutting has because increasingly popular over the past couple of years, there are still millions of people who aren’t ready to lose their live TV. Services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu provide users with thousands of hours of entertainment, and new online-only services like HBO Now and Sling TV provide access to some live content. That won’t cut it for many people though, so they stick with their pricey pay TV plans.
Here’s a tip for you though: You already pay a fortune for live TV, so pick up an Actiontec My Wireless TV WiFi / HDMI Multi-Room Wireless HD Video Kit and watch your cable TV and DVR in multiple rooms without paying an extra monthly fee for a separate cable box and DVR.
Here are the key details:
Wirelessly sends live HD content from HDMI-enabled media device to the HDTV.
Delivers up to 1080p60 and 3D video, and 5.1 audio wirelessly.
A/V quality auto adjustment based on wireless operating environment.
Supports controlling of device’s IR (e.g. cable/Sat STB) with existing remote control over IR Blaster cable.
It’s worth noting that there’s a caveat with this setup, however. Two people can’t watch two different channels in their respective rooms using this solution, since the box in one room will actually be feeding live TV wirelessly to the other room. This is a great solution for people who live alone though, or for that guest room in your house that rarely gets used.
