Good Video 3 or 4 Channel Analog Modulator

I'm using this modulator to stream A/V with Direct TV satellite modulation to a TV in my detached garage workshop. (Our direct TV receivers don't have modulated RF outputs, only HDMI and RCA video/audio.) The garage is about 100 feet from the house and the cable is about 125 feet long. I had to connect video and audio jumpers, choose the right channel for the RF output, hook up an RG-6 cable going to the garage, and plug the power supply into the wall. The modulator gives you the option of using analog TV channel 3 or 4 for output. Sound and picture are crisp and clear in my garage; and shows no signs of noise, shadows, or halos. I have had this setup for 3 months now. and I had no problems including crackling due to signal dropouts. The key to a good setup for any distant audio/video/composite RF signal is using good quality cables and avoiding cables near sources of interference. So avoid walking near fluorescent lights, large power cables, etc. In my case, I'm using good quality Quad Shield RG-6 cable, crimp connectors (no rotary connectors), and most of the route is through an underground conduit connecting the house and garage.
