Anyone had any recent experience with the Technomate TM-RF HD IR digital modulator ?
I have just purchased one to re-transmit my Humax FreeView PVR output through the house TV distribution system, achieved by looping the HDMI feed through the modulator and running an extra co-ax cable to the loft where the modulator RF output is combined with the aerial inputs to the distribution amplifier using a Labgear, power pass 2 way splitter.
The choice of modulator was between the Technomate unit and the similar spec./priced Edision DVBT unit, the Technomate was chosen as it has the HDMI loop through ports option, in-built IR re-transmission option and received generally better reviews.
Set up was very easy having already run the additional co-ax cable to the loft distribution amplifier, default channel 21 was changed to 27 to keep well clear of my local terrestrial frequencies, LCN ID was left at default 800.
However, the unit is blanking out at random intervals for 4 to 5 second periods, sound and/or vision, occurs on both HDMI output and RF re-transmission, is much worse after power on, improved with time but still randomly occurs.
Have attempted to contact Technomate on line support with absolutely no response, can't even register the unit warranty as the date of purchase year option only goes to 2013 latest, does not exactly inspire confidence !
The unit was bought from Amazon, should I at least request a replacement or perhaps even a refund considering the lack of support from Technomate ?
Anyone aware of any setting I could change to mitigate the effects I am experiencing considering that the fault is active on HDMI feed through as well as RF transmission ?
