I think the time has come to lose DSTV. I am sick of their repeats and bad service, and nothing to watch.
I also watch ZERO sport...so there really is nothing I need them for except something to have playing in the background. I always have multiple TV's on, with something playing.
So...here's my problem. I have one main tv in the lounge..an LG Smart TV.
2 Bedrooms have small LED Tv's, not smart.
Then I also have a Tv in the kitchen, and one in the other lounge. Some of these are regular analog TV's.
Currently I don't even understand my setup. I have all TV's connected to the lounge, I think via analog cables, no digital signal is being fed, but HD isn't my main priority.
I need at least 2 different streams available on any of those TV's, due to the family watching different stuff.
Currently most rooms have a remote blaster so that anyone can change channels from any room.
So, my questions is how do I lose the DSTV decoder, install some form of media box, and have 2 streams on different channels to all the TV's in the house?
I am not very au fait with AV, and will probably have to get someone in to do the installation. Currently I have a ridiculous amount of cables in the main room.
Have fibre, and prepared to buy whatever media box is required. have fairly decent Wi-Fi, although I don't think that is optimum as a solution.
But it is the ability to share to every tv, control the feeds from other rooms, and general logistics that is tripping me up.
Can anyone make any comments or suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?
I am ok with getting an expert in to advise or quote, but don't want to end up paying tens of thousands.
Would multiple media boxes be better, or something else? Appreciate the advice, in plain speak please.
