By Sam Smith


With wireless technologies becoming so well-liked, individuals are using it for more than just computers; they are also utilizing it for wireless cable TV. Setting up a wireless program isn't too tough to do, and involves the purchasing of a wireless video transmitter and a wireless receiver. You can discover these as a kit, or sold individually at most electronic stores. Apart from the kit, you will find no other unique tools needed to install this kind of service inside your house. Here are some step-by-step instructions to help you set up your new system.

You need to set the wireless video transmitter next to your cable box. Connect the HDMI cable to output on the cable box, and to the input on the video transmitter. And then plug within the power supply for the video transmitter.

Next place the wireless video receiver next to the TV and plug in the power cord. Connect 1 end of the HDMI cable into the output of the wireless receiver and also the other end in to the input on the television. The input connection is generally located on the back of the TV, but with some models it's situated on the side.

Next you should power on the television utilizing your remote and access the menu. Once in the menu scroll down to your system settings and choose video input. Choose the input that the wireless receiver is plugged into. And then exit the menu.

Simultaneously press the source button the video transmitter and the wireless receiver, and release the buttons once the LED light appears next to the HDMI label.

If the wireless receiver has multiple channels, you will need to press the channel button on both the transmitter and the receiver until you reach channel 1. If your receiver is really a single channel unit, then you can ignore this step.

You can purchase extra receivers if you want to use the wireless cable TV on much more than 1 television. Depending on the location of the transmitter in reference to the other televisions, you may need to buy a wireless extender that will help boost the signal to reach the other electronics.

While you are able to use 1 wireless signal for multiple televisions, you will only be able to view the channel that's selected on the primary cable box. If you want the capability to watch different channels on every Television, then you must purchase extra cable boxes from your service provider, which in turn can increase your monthly bill.
