OK ... This arrangement works for me, no filters anywhere in the system taking out spot frequencies. I get nothing bleeding through in the way of terrestrial transmissions once I no longer have the RF distribution setup in the house connected to the external aerial. I have a cheapo mono VCR that I bought for my five year old and I can set the RF output of that t whatever frequency I want and pipe it into the RF distribution amp and everything works hunky-dory. I have also tried one of the Keene variable RF modulators that a friend bought and that also worked fine around the house *UNTIL* I hooked up the external RF feed from the roof aerial. Then I had no end of crap bleeding over stuff.

 

Maybe I'm lucky but when I have wanted to use the existing RF system that's in the house for piping stuff around (say when I've actually wanted a telly in Edwards room) I've not had any interference picked up in the cabling and it's worked fine.

All I’m saying Phil is that with that set-up there will be pickup of the terrestrial stations that means you have t be very careful where you place the CCTV modulators

CCTV cams are not very good t start off with

The advise you gave would make it worse

You have t place the modulators away from known terrestrial frequencies

I take it you haven’t got any filters on the system taking out these spot frequencies

Ext. Aerial to OnDig.

 

Ondig to AV System and KAT5 -> To bedroom (or switcher when available)

 

Internal RF distribution (from previous occupants) is not connected to anything which means I can shove anything I want around that ... including (if I wanted to) modulated CCTV.

 

Bedrom TVs have own VCRs (never see the point in distributing VCR around house)

 

I know that RF distribution is a nightmare - which is why I d n't use it! *grin*
