Came across these in the workshop, rescued them years ago. I think the PSU module was duff (no problem as it's only 12v at a couple of amps absolute max IIRC) but the individual modulators are probably okay.
Seems like they enable you to put DVB-S signals onto DVB-T.

I am thinking of lashing something up at a second home we have, which has a satellite installation. My idea would be to distribute the more worthwhile channels around the rooms. Anyone ever tried something like this?

The output could be DVB-C instead of DVB-T. Looks quite interesting and I think your plan could work.

Thanks Maarten. I probably won't do anything with this until the summer, but will post again with an update when I do!
