This decoder combination is not supported yet. Installation Diagram 1110 is not currently able to power a tvLINK, but can detect its signals. A self powered tvLINK eye or remote blaster can therefore be used for remote control from the 2nd viewing environment.

V1.2c *Note that if terrestrial services are not used, the HD PVR can be connected to the network via RF out. In that case, HD services can then be monitored but not controlled from either the bedroom or kids room. (Controlling it would clash with the SD PVRs TV1) Settings: HD PVR to use default TV1 settings. SD PVR XtraView settings cannot be changed, but the tvLINK setting must be ENABLED. Usage:

In Short: All decoders in one room, so less cabling. 3 Viewing environments each with independent access and PVR functionality. 2nd and 3rd viewing environments can view all services including HD, but can control SD PVR services only. Viewing at 2nd and 3rd points is RF (terrestrial analogue) quality only. Notes: All grey items are optional and need only be included if that additional functionality is required. The purple lines indicate a connection to the satellite dish and may consist of up to 4 cables, depending on the LNB and or multi-switch used. The default RF channel settings may have to be changed. Tip use the lowest possible frequencies to minimise the cable losses and thereby increase video quality. The front panel reception of the SD PVR must be disabled so it only receives commands from the tvLINK eye or the HD PVR. (To prevent the HD PVRs TV1 commands from causing unintended actions on the SD PVR) It is not possible to use all 3 TV environments from one room as the remote has only two sets of commands TV1 and TV2 and commands will clash when there is more than one TV1 or TV2. The striped lines are still single cables - the different colours just indicate that both TV1 and TV2 channels are carried in that cable.

This installation requires HD PVR or 1110 remotes to be used in both viewing environments. SD PVR remotes will not work as all remote commands need to pass through the HD PVR. In Short: Give up one SD PVR environment to enable full sharing of the SD and HD PVR. Only one cable required to the 2nd room. Both environments can view and control services from either the HD or SD PVR. Viewing quality at 2nd point is RF (terrestrial analogue) quality only. Notes: To prevent clashing or remote commands from and to the HD PVR, TV2 of the SD PVR is not used. The HD PVR is still the primary decoder, but uses the TV2 remote mode. The reason is that as the SD PVR TV1 provides full interactivity, is it is preferable to use that instead of the SD PVR TV2 mode for sharing. All grey items are optional and need only be included if that additional functionality is required. The purple lines indicate a connection to the satellite dish and may consist of up to 4 cables, depending on the LNB and or multi-switch used.

V1.2c The default RF channel settings may have to be changed. Tip use the lowest possible frequencies to minimise the cable losses and thereby increase video quality. The front panel reception of the SD PVR must be disabled so it only receives commands as relayed from the HD PVR. (The HD PVR will use TV2 commands for itself and pass TV1 commands to the SD PVR.) Only HD PVR and 1110 remote commands can be relayed by the XtraView network. Settings:
SD PVR
SD PVR XtraView settings cannot be changed The tvLINK setting must be ENABLED. Front panel remote reception must be disabled (Press P+ and P- together to toggle remote reception on or off) This is done to prevent commands intended for the HD PVR causing unwanted actions on the SD PVR.
