I already have a NooElec RTL2832U dongle. Do I run the upconverter through the dongle via SMA-to-MCX cable, or do I hook directly to my PC (USB)?

You will need to run it through the dongle. It upconverts to the input frequencies of the dongle.

The correct connection is to go from the antenna to the RF in on the upconverter and then from the RF out on the upconverter to the RTL dongle with an SMA to MCX adapter. The upconverter does attach to the PC via USB, but this is for 5 volts DC to power the upconverter.

Is the USB connection on this upconvertor only for 5VDC and nothing else? I still use the SDR on the USB port as before?

Connect antenna to 'RF in' on converter. Connect converter 'RF out' to RTL dongle. Connect converter USB via cable to PC USB port (this provides the 5 volt power to the converter.

that was my situation, which this converter solved perfectly. The yellow cable is likely standard def HVHS, which won't look good at all. don't know what the coax is, an rf signal supposed to go into a tuner?? the hdmi will work with Loftek box.cheers,bill taylor

Rickk, there is a USB dongle you plug into your computer that provides a communication interface. The setup for this is very simple, just plug in, power up, press the connection button and done.

Plug the dongle into a USB port. I found my dongle inside the bottom of the mouse just FYI.

I use it on my disk vip222k and vip722k works great! just make sure you program it first!, I love these dongles!!!!!

Actually, I added this pair along with 2 other AV200 models (one Belkin and one older Actiontec...no setup button).It's better to use the included application to setup all of them. Before plug it in and save, make sure you give an adapter unique name and put in 16 characters device code (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx), and hook up and plug, and press save.

I'm not the most techey guy but what I can tell you is it sends a HDMI signal just like any HDMI signal from a VCR, DVD or cable box. If your TV works with any of the items I have listed then the dongle will work on your TV.

The radio will be able to receive the signal since the LNB downconverter intermediate frequency (I.F.) is 950-1,450 MHz, which is within the range of the dongle. There are some challenges.First, the LNB requires power. You can use another satellite receiver through a splitter do to this (I've done this).Second, the LNB switches polarity depending on the voltage of the power supply. Again, another satellite receiver hooked onto a splitter will do this (or a power supply you rig up yourself).Since the dongle supports DVB-T it supports the very similar DVB-S.You might want to look at getting an actual DVB-S card or a programmable OpenBox receiver. There are several on Amazon and they do all of these things for you.

I'm assuming you are talking about the Rosstech tool. In that case no. The Rosstech needs its own dongle.

Yea. That is exactly how I have it set up. The dongle is plugged into my computer and the IR works independently for the TV.

Use an usb adapter and connect it to the usb port. You will see it as a unit on your pc.

You will need a bridge and wired connect to that bridge. It doesn't support usb dongle like windows/ios

A bit silly. I can't comment on the reasons why they choose RF dongles over a BT dongle and allowing it to be used on a multi-BT connection, but if you're looking for a solution I've heard there is some logitech ones that allow you to add logitech devices to one dongle (wireless mouse/keyboard/headset), but I've never seen them. I never seem to have more than a controller, flash drive, keyboard/mouse, and webcam on my desktop, and only a mouse on my laptop so I don't particularly mind all the plugs.

Hi, it was designed to connect PC to PC . . . I would contact their C/S for possible software up-date. Good Luck !!!

This adapter converts a std toslink cable to a 3.5mm mini toslink optical (SPDIF). ie Optical to Optical. The SPDIF mini optical interface is often "hidden" in a dual purpose 1/8 analog stereo jack on your PC or Mac - where your audio out jack will serve as both a standard analog stereo out (headphones or speakers) or an optical out depending on which connector/cable you have plugged into it. It is common these days for a PC to have an optical/analog dual jack and the user doesn't even know it. If your PC doesn't have SPDIF / mini-toslink output then this adapter wont help you with your Turtle Beach decoder. I have the same decoder/receiver, it requires optical in to carry the 7.1 digital signal. Recommend that you double check your PC, it may have optical after all, if it's a newer PC/Laptop. If your PC doesn't have any optical out, then you can only go stereo into the Turtle Beach from the PC. If your PC has a coax digital out, you may be able to get a coax to optical converter, but you'd probably be better off just getting a new sound card with optical out, in that case.

I'm about 60% certain that this lsusb output belongs to the same dongle (dongle is buried in equipment rack): Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

Wrong. He will not need a converter.Yes, friendlyherb, you will be able to get he new, over-the-air DIGITAL signal. You don't need cable.
