Audio Visual Accessories
Digital Dave supplies a range of accessories to make your Sky viewing go further.
Sky Link Video Extender (Wired)
The Sky Link system allows you to watch Sky TV in more than one room. Using wires it sends whatever your watching to second TV and extends the remote control so you can change channels in a different room. You can now watch Sky in either your living room or your bedroom without having to move anything. Buy a second remote control unit and you don’t even have to carry the remote into the bedroom!
Wireless Audio Visual Senders
Watch your Sky satellite , VCR, DVD, on a TV in any room in your home without needing to run a wire between them. Simply plug the transmitter into the source device (DVD, satellite receiver, etc,) and the receiver into the SCART socket of the TV. The audio and video will then be transmitted from the source device to the second TV wirelessly.
For maximum convenience, the unit also relays the signals from your remote control back to the source so you can use your normal remote control to change satellite channels, etc. from the other room.
Cables
Digital Dave can supply all kinds of Audio, Video or power cables to suit your needs. Contact us describing what you want to do and we will identify and supply the correct cables for you. If the cable requires professional installation we will advise you.
