There are many environments which we view televisions in multiple areas all at the same time.

Consider a smart home with a coaxial network that has a TV in every room of the house, including the kitchen, even multiple televisions in a man cave, and even outside near the grill or pool. It’s not farfetched since the cost of flat screens and 4k UHD televisions have come down in price dramatically. You can swing by a Walmart, Costco, and best buy and pick up a 50 inch TV for a couple hundred bucks whereas a generation ago that same Television might have cost a couple thousand dollars. With the decrease in prices more homes are becoming smart-homes with actual racks in some closets or garages.
The rise of smart homes many times includes having a small head end in the house as well. This makes it easier to wire the entire house with Cat6, Coaxial RG6, and even audio cables for the house to have speakers built into ceilings or walls for entertainment inside the house as well as outside in patio and pool areas. If you’re going to install a head end in a home and make it a full smart home then it makes a lot of sense to install an HDMI RF modulator as well alongside the sound and video systems. Generally you’ll find the home router and some other high-tech gear like an alarm system and in-home monitoring system with a DVR for security cameras. Homes are now wired and ready for nearly any sort of gathering to watch a big game, big event, or even just a movie night with the family. Having the right equipment like an HDMI RF modulator means you can have every TV and every speaker in sync across any TV in your house.
This type of theatre is becoming more common place as outdoor spaces continue to grow in size and leisure; creating a seamless transition from your living room to your backyard grill or patio with TV’s and speakers is becoming quite normal for those who can afford the space. An event like Covid really sparked in-home indulgences as more families would create livable areas across every room or space inside and outside of their home. Super fans of teams and sports have created more elaborate man caves with multiple televisions in one area.
What was formerly just a basement with one television and a couch, could now have multiple sofa’s, armchairs, and large wall with numerous televisions, sometimes each dedicated to particular games, or perhaps numerous views of the same F1 Racetrack. With the rise web based television and behemoths like ESPN having numerous channels on simultaneously for several games or multiple channels dedicated to the same game, like the Super Bowl, mega fans are more indulgent then ever. Using multi input HDMI RF modulators can also make this a reality since IP based television like HULU will allow you to use multiple logins. So we literally see some people take a 4 or 8 input RF modulator, load it up with Hulu Live using Apple TV’s or inexpensive Fire Sticks, and now you can seamlessly pan every Live game or utilize add on packages from the NFL, NBA, or NHL to view all the games you want simultaneously utilizing numerous screens and numerous streaming devices converted to RF for easy to view experiences.
Similarly we can find the same use of a compact HDMI RF modulator in places like RV’s and motorhomes. If large enough to equip at least 2 televisions a simple HDMI modulator can save you money from rewiring your boat or RV. In this case you have a smaller square foot area to navigate, but with the cost of HDTV’s plummeting but also the sizes available from very small to very large, it’s not out of the questions to put a 30 inch TV in one room of the boat or RV, and then have a bigger fifty or sixty inch television in the living area. In the case of RV’s as we’ve seen in motorhomes, people that enjoy going to tailgates or just drive from one recreational park to another and setup a small outdoor area, they could have a mountable television that goes outside on the motorhome.
In a similar case you could have a yacht with a couple of rooms or more, and perhaps another one outside. This means that you can source one channel or use something link Elon Musk’s Starlink to provide enough bandwidth to stream while you’re on the high seas, in which case you can have a single HDMI source run to an HDMI RF modulator that then runs coax to all the televisions. Now it’s understandable that not every boat or yacht will require this, but those lucky enough to have boats large enough that love watching sports might spend their weekends fishing on board and can still stream HULU LIVE or YOUTUBE TV directly to their boat and enjoy watching baseball, football, or even just movies while heading out to a distant location on their boat.
The emergence of watching television outside isn’t new, however the accessibility and ease of use has increased rapidly to the point where if you are lucky to live in a year round warm weather area like Phoenix, Southern California, Florida or similar; having an outdoor living space is almost guaranteed with new construction projects. Those of whom expand their living areas outside will find the costs to add television without a set top box, but instead using coaxial cable and an RF modulator are not nearly as high as they once were. Leisure improvements have become immeasurably more affordable, these kinds of upgrades used to be reserved for those wealthy enough to afford such potential projects. Now this kind of application of living on the move in a motorhome, a smart home, or personal yacht has become increasingly normal. As we gradually climb into the new evolution of living with technology like phones, ipad’s, and laptops; now wireless smart watches, headphones and speakers that don’t require running wires it’s much easier to adapt and expand as market technologies increase, the cost of these products decrease. Everyone is able to further their comfort levels in leisure activities because this tech that is immensely helpful and now available to everyone.
