November 2024

Hans has used the small 19" TV standing on the coffe table in the living room, for 13 years. The HDMI-cable and mains cable are laying on the floor and are sometime disturbing. Therefore he decides to upgrade to a large wall mounted TV.

The Samsung "The Frame" seems like a good choice. It is available in several sizes up to 85". Hans want s to connect the screen to the separate box in the entrance and therefore he needs a 15 meter fiber optic cable that he buys from Dustin. That cable only supports sizes to 43" that he therefore buys.

Signal via HDMI

The distribution of the TV signal is changed from antenna connection to a Telia TV-box connected to LAN. Therefore the long antenna cable in the living room is replaced by a shorter HDMI-cable to the TV-box in the entrance.

Hans will have a visitor staying over for some time, and the 7" TV is probably too small for 2 persons to watch simulataneously, therefore a larger screen is needed. After investigating all stores, the Sony is selected due to the image quality, brand and pleasant white color.

Rear connections

The back of the TV has all connections that are needed. Although Hans uses only the mains power supply and antenna connection to the TV-socket in the appartment.

Viewing TV

It is 21:07 and Hans has just started to watch Die Hard 2 on TV3. The signal was sent out on the appartment cable TV network. The signal passed two boxes before arriving at the composite antenna input on the TV set. First the composite signal from the cable outlet goes into the TV2-network box. The output from the box is then fed via SCART to a separate converter with composite output for the TV set.
