They recommend genuine Foxtel (no suprises there), or Monster cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 26d Gender: Male Posted 21/04/09 05:37 AM Share Posted 21/04/09 05:37 AM There is another way where you can get foxtel thru every tv outlet point. I did it and perfect picture eveywhere. There is a forum called DTV Forum Australia and you will find a good thread in there on how to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also try AV RF senders if you prefer, however not always good in large houses, or places with brick interior walls.Other option - RCA splitter/switching boxes.
