Using RF OUT on DVB-T Tuner URZ0083E: Does It Work for Antenna Signal?

Question

Hello, I have a DVB-T tuner URZ0083E, it has 2 antenna inputs - RF IN and RF OUT, so far I have used the RF IN input, today I wanted to see if the antenna will also work on the second input, and unfortunately the signal does not move. Isn`t this entrance intended for that?

RF IN, as the name suggests, is a signal input. RF OUT is like a splitter to connect a second tuner or TV.

I bought an antenna splitter, unfortunately I bought it for the RF OUT input, the goal was to connect 2 tuners to 1 antenna. You write that RF OUT is a splitter, can I:
Connect the antenna to the tuner via the RF IN input and connect the second tuner via the RF OUT input? Will it work?

Exactly.

1. I have an antenna splitter, 1>2, can I insert it into the RF-OUT input (to the tuner to which the antenna is connected) and connect 2 TVs (i.e. 3 in total)
2. I don`t have an RF-OUT plug, can I connect the antenna without it (I assume that the signal may be weaker).
3. Can I connect another tuner to tuner no. 2 (using the antenna of tuner no. 1) via the RF-OUT input and so on indefinitely?
4. I have 2 different antenna cables, one is thinner and the other is thicker, will it bother me?

Describe in more detail how you want to connect it. You can, but not indefinitely. It must be remembered that the useful signal weakens with the connection of each new receiver and an amplifier must be used. If they are not damaged and are well shielded, probably not.

I.e. some people without plugs simply push the antenna cable into the RF IN input, so I want to connect only by touching the RF-OUT input Wait a minute, I should connect the antenna cable in the tuner where the antenna is connected - to the RF OUT input, but should I route it to the RF IN or RF OUT input - in the second tuner?

matis057 · Answer

Buy yourself a connector and don`t mess around, otherwise you`ll complain that it doesn`t pick up your signal. RF IN - SIGNAL INPUT RF OUT - SIGNAL OUTPUT

I tried without this plug-in, but unfortunately it didn`t work... ;( I`ll buy the plug-in and hope it will work...
//One more question, I read somewhere that with this RF OUT I can only watch analog TV, is that true?

matis057 · Answer

If it has a modulator, you watch the image from the tuner on the TV. If it is only a splitter, as in the case of URZ0083E, you can watch what you want - digital and analogue.

Finally, correct this embarrassing topic: RF-OUT is not it entry , Just Exit !
Secondly, at this stage (RF-OUT/RF-IN) we are talking about the raw, unprocessed signal from the antenna - what frequency you will extract from it and how you will decode it (analog or digital) is a completely different story!

lepcio13 · Answer

Sorry, but as you probably noticed, I came here because I wanted to find out what RF-OUT is, I`m not an expert, so I think I had the right to make a mistake... ##I bought a plug for RF-OUT, connected one tuner to the other, the signal didn`t move;(What`s the problem? The only thing I noticed is that current flows through the wires of the antenna cable. The tuner is designed for digital television, so we are talking about digital decoding here

matis057 · Answer

And a signal is a signal... analog and digital are only the method of emission, i.e. the signal entering the antenna and exiting via RF-OUT is the same.

Things are different with these guides. Sometimes, to activate it (i.e. for the antenna signal to appear at the `RF OUT` output), you need to turn on the decoder, and sometimes you also need to turn on the power supply to the antenna amplifier (software errors). Sometimes such a guide simply does not work.

Need someone with this decoder or try it over there .

In general, it is best to split the signal with a good passive splitter, e.g. Signal`s R-2.

The signal is caught but immediately disappears (signal strength reaches approximately 60 and immediately drops to 0), what could be the reason? I have a plug with a connected power supply in one tuner, do I also need a power supply in the second one or is a plug enough?

Totally incorrectly installed +12V power supply from the AC power supply and I would take care of the power separator. Draw a picture of what it looks like. Regards.
