Works like a champ! Quite please with my purchase.
UPDATE: I encountered some issues balancing the MINIMOD-2 output with the OTA channels to all 5 TVs installed in my RV. The primary issue was because I tried installing the MIDIMOD-2 in the back of the RV near my computer, and the boosted OTA feed is in the front of the RV. The TVs near the front would receive the OTA channels and not the MINIMOD-2 channel. The TVs in the back would receive the MINIMOD-2 channel but not the OTA channels. A TV in the middle of the RV would receive channels from both sources. OBVIOUSLY .. this is no fault of the MINIMOD-2. When I installed the MINIMOD-2 up front at the same coax injection point as the OTA feed, I could get everything to work properly. But one thing I didn't think of is that whenever I move the RV to a different campground, signal strength of the OTA stations will change, necessitating the OTA feed to be rebalanced. Fortunately, my OTA antenna signal booster has adjustable GAIN and SLOPE dials, making it quite easy to balance everything with the MINIMOD-2 which also has an adjustable GAIN feature. I did have to move the NUC computer up front to feed the MINIMOD-2 too, which I wish I didn't have to do, but it's really no big deal. So .. I'm still a happy camper! End of UPDATE ..While this VECOAX MINIMOD-2 just arrived today, and I've only played with it for a few hours now, I can certainly say I really like it.After unboxing it, I left it in its default setup (US cable TV output), coax connected it to a TV in my RV, connected & plugged in the power adapter, and then scanned for new cable channels on the TV. It failed to find the MINIMOD output. I didn't bother to trouble shoot that, since I intend to use it on an OTA channel anyhow (so I can combine it with local TV channels for use in my RV, which is not cable friendly while driving down the road, lol). But I will trouble shoot this later. I'm sure I can get it to work one way or another on cable frequencies if I ever need to. It's probably an attenuation issue anyhow.I then accessed the MINIMOD-2 menu and set it up for ATSC modulation using the default channel and frequency. I then rescanned the TV for OTA channels and this time it detected the MINIMOD-2's channel. It displayed the unit's test video image perfectly.Next I connected the amplified roof antenna coax to the unit's RF input and rescanned for OTA channels on my TV. It found the unit's 14.1 default channel but failed to detect any OTA broadcast channels. I then went into the unit's menu and set attenuation to 20 db. I then rescanned and the TV detected 5 of the 50 or so OTA channels that I can pick up from a city about 50 miles away.Now that I know what that OTA broadcast issue was about, I feel confident I can resolve that later and get most of those channels back. I have a HackRF One SDR which I can connect up later to measure the signal levels of everything to assist in resolving that if necessaryNext I made sure my NUC computer was set to output a fixed video resolution of 1920x1080p, and I switched it from 5.1 to stereo audio output. Then I connected the HDMI output of the NUC computer to the MINIMOD-2. Presto - my computer screen appeared on the TV .. minus about 20 pixels all around the perimeter of the screen. That of course was the TVs fault and was easily corrected with a quick change of the TVs default overscan parameter settings.My NUC computer is networked. I use VLC on it to play videos from my Synology NAS servers that I bring along in my RV. I selected a number of ripped DVD and Blu-ray movies to play. The DVD video appeared almost identical to direct video output. The 35 GB Blu-ray movies I played however exhibited the same compression artifacts that one sees on cable & satellite TV (this is the reason I don't subscribe to cable or satellite, preferring instead to just buy the shows & Blu-ray movies I want to watch). But this artifacting is only an issue when at home and watching movies on a VERY LARGE projection screen. In my RV, I can certainly live with this, as it's no different than what cable or satellite TV does to video. But on a big screen at home, I will not tolerate the artifact video you see on cable and satellite TV quality video. Even OTA digital TV broadcasts are a LOT better than cable. And I can't tolerate the horrible quality of Internet steamed video services. My first choice is to simply buy the movies and shows I want to watch on Blu-ray (and sometimes DVD), then rip them to my NAS servers, making it convenient for instant access & to take them all with me on the road in my RV when vacationing 6-8 months a year.Anyhow, I'm quite pleased with this unit. While I would have liked it too be as good as regular local TV digital broadcast stations, I do realize it's not directly broadcasting the video file, but is resampling the video for a second time from the HDMI output. My tests were also done in low latency mode. For the most part, it looks just fine and I'm quite satisfied with the quality (when viewed on these 5 non-top-of-the-line TVs I have throughout my RV). I bought this so I could continue to watch movies while moving around inside and out on any TV while all the TVs remains in sync with each other (well, as close in sync as digital TV gets). Prior to this purchases, my NUC could only play to the TV it was connected to.BTW, I also have an HDHomerun Extended tuner hooked to my RV Ethernet network. So even if I can't get all of the OTA channels balanced into one coax, it won't matter. I will be using my NUC & VLC to play movies and to watch TV through the HDHomerun tuner, to which I have the antenna directly hooked to, thus eliminating the need to combine any OTA broadcasts with the MINIMOD-2 output. It's also desirable to keep the antenna isolated too because part 2 of this project is to add MoCA networking to my coax, and I don't want any of this transmitting out of my RV.I may add additional details as I proceed with this project I started in my RV. I'm also curious to see if I plug this MINIMOD-2 output into a campgrounds cable TV coax if suddenly everyone in the campgrounds will get to watch my movies too, lol. I'll set my channel name to RVHDTV .. watch for it at campgrounds across America that I might be staying at, lol.
