Domino converter
Hi
I have an Aurora standards converter, and was wondering what the differences were between it and the Domino converter which I am thinking of getting. It must be the London version as all my TVs are London versions. Regards Neville Last edited by Mike Phelan; 15th Mar 2010 at 8:17 pm. Reason: Rule D6 and FSK. |

Re: domino convertor
Hello.
With the greatest respect why would you wish to swap an Aurora (with the exception of the early multistandard one less the inbuilt modulator)?

Re: domino convertor
Which you can do with an Aurora.....
It belts out so much RF a simple resistive splitter will allow you to supply atleast half a dozen sets with ease

Re: domino convertor
Hi Neville
Just a Sean says there should be no problem running a good few sets from an Aurora, without bringing down the Domino in any way I do feel though that the Aurora is a better converter, it's not far short of the broadcast Digital converters that were used up to the 405 switch off

Re: Domino converter
Hello Neville, I am using an Aurora with a six way splitter with long cable runs [One is around 60ft long] and it still provides enough signal to operate relatively low gain sets. This can be extended even further if a simple aerial pre amp is employed. J.
