HDMI multihub
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hi all, can you advise if an HDMI multihub would allow me to have the freeview box, the Vodafone TV box and a chrome cast device all plugged into the HDMI at the back of our TV? I want to be able to cast Acorn to the TV whenever we want to watch a show, without unplugging either the freeview or the Vodafone box. We can't upgrade our TV to include a built in freeview as we live north of Whangarei and they just won't work up here. Thanks. nzlady2 - 2021-05-18 12:45:00 |

This will do what you want, another damn remote though. To my knowledge the hubs are one input multiple output devices, you need the opposite, multiple inputs one output, and I'm not so sure they are bidirectional. You may find one that is though. edit to add: I see a few advertised here as well, search "HDMI Switcher" Edited by ronaldo8 at 2:13 pm, Tue 18 May ronaldo8 - 2021-05-18 14:10:00 |

| 6 | There are already two HDMI inputs on the TV. One is used for thr freeview box, the other the Vodafone TV box. I will try to get the one that ronald08 suggested. Thanks all. nzlady2 - 2021-05-18 14:56:00 |

Satellite works everywhere in NZ and is what you'll be using now E. Why not watch Freeview through the vodafone box? It isn't any worse quality than Satellite. Edited by vtecintegra at 3:29 pm, Tue 18 May vtecintegra - 2021-05-18 15:28:00 |

| 9 | Yup, the one mentioned above works well, we have one the same, although we got it off TradeMe for a lot less. kingfisher21 - 2021-05-18 16:46:00 |

| 12 | Isn't the Vodafone box a Freeview box and it has casting abilities so you could cut down on some devices. loud_37 - 2021-05-18 19:02:00 |

So you're getting your Freeview signal via Satellite! As for built-in Freeview (Satellite) receiver, there's few TVs around that has dual tuners (Terrestrial and Satellite), something like: Edited by flower_tears at 3:47 am, Wed 19 May flower_tears - 2021-05-19 03:47:00 |

Exactly. I have a gen 2 Vodafone TV box and it comes with all the standard free-to-air channels that are on Freeview. Can't understand why you would have both boxes connected? Also if you need to cast, my laptop and phone can also connect to the VTV box (and directly to the TV) without Chromecast gblack - 2021-05-19 07:32:00 |
