    Default Can a fire tv be distributed to other TVs?

    Hi guys I'm about to purchase an IPTV feed and wondered if I centrally located a fire TVs box can this be connected to a distributor to be accessed by other TVs in the house?

    many thanks, Devs

    Yes, split the HDMI then use hdmi to rj45 extenders.

    if the other TV's are connected by standard aerial Coax then a simpler solution would be HDMI RF Modulator, distributes any HDMI connected device via a Freeview HD frequency of your choice. just make sure your other TV's are MPEG4 compatible

    Thanks alot guys, the tv's in the house are currently connected to the outside arial via this distributor. My plan was to house a Fire TV box next to the distributor with a PLEX IP feed that would hopefully be accessible by all. Would this be the way to go rather than using multiple sticks and subs etc?

    Cheers and sorry for the q's I'm new to this

    Might be cheaper to get a second firestick, and clone the mac. Unless your IPTV supplier supports multiroom, then no worries.

    ***EDIT***

    Oh, jsut read the above. Maybe an HDMI version / Receiver of that in the picture?

    If your going to be feeding it over Coax then the HDMI Digital Freeview HD Modulator is the way to go, simply connect the fire TV via HDMI into modulator as well as your TV aerial then connect the out from the modulator into the UHF in on the wolsey amp.

    Programme the modulator for a currently unused Freeview frequency and channel number say 99 then tune in your TV's as normal, with most decent modulators you can name your Freeview HD MUX as well say something like Fire TV just as an example.

    I assume you realise that this will only give you the ability to just watch whatever is on the FireTV from any room in the house, if you want to view different channels on different TV's from the main FireTV then you going to need as stated above either a multiroom sub as well as another FireTv/Stick and again another modulator
