Has anyone bought and used a Bluetooth range extender to push a signal several hundred feet? good - bad, cost.

My Dish package has a Sirius/XM feature that works in the house. In fact I'm blowing my ears off while I listening to John Lee Hooker and having another of helping of Nun, it's Habit forming. Thanks Bunk the young ones are the tenderest.

Sorry all my religious iterations are too dirty to post.

no problem Old, love that movie,saw it when it came out back in the day..everyone made a fortune off it..Stacy Keach my favorite..anyway,I just did a wireless ethernet link,works real good about a 250ft poke great speed and bandwidth..off Amazon.
Look into fiber transciever hubs as well,-they have Cat5 RJ45 input, fiber cable out..fiber in on other end converts back to RJ45 Cat5. The hubs are $65/ea and the fiber cable is cheap at about $150 for 400ft or so,ready made up ends already on it..cant go more than 300ft with Cat5 but you can go miles with fiber.FWIW

My TV broadcasts a bluetooth signal that the speaker next to my chair receives so I can vary volume without disturbing my wife. What I need is a receiver that will relay the bluetooth over the air so a B/T speaker will pick up the signal in the yard. I had a B/T transmitter that plugged into the TV and a set of earphones. Worked, but the damn things would run down before bedtime.

I'm looking for a cheap repeater that is mono, latency isn't important. Not going to send a TV signal just the music audio. I have the signal for TV piped to the garage by converting the signal and using coax. There are relays on Amazon starting about $50 was hoping some cheap SOB like me could spec a dirt cheap version

In the past I had the house wired with coax and splitters, but the new kangaroo boxes see the splitters as a non TV load and shut down. HOWEVER an A - B switch will work to reroute signal.

Actually I need to rehab my outdoor antenna and see what is on OTA and tell the kangaroo to take a jump.

I don't have any Cable tv or Satellite. cut the cable two years ago. Just have internet. OTA with a amplified antenna BUT location is rather important for that to work. I get 72 channels here. Have a couple streaming services for movies Netflix, Disney+, discovery+, Hulu comes free with the cell service and so does my Amazon prime. I had Sirius/XM for a while but 15 bucks a month for a streaming service version proved NOT WORTH IT. Lots of music on Amazon & other streaming services that don't charge me. just have to tolerate the commercials. Most of the time I'm too involved in stuff to notice.

The SiriusXM I have is part of the satellite pkg and can be accessed by any of my TVs. I want to transmit that B/T TV signal to a B/T speaker outside.

I had a lifetime "membership" to SiriusXM. There was a "class action" suit regarding the lifetime deal. I actually threw all my Sirius hardware in the trash. When XM first came out it was great, but today satellite radio is redundant and expensive.

I agree on OTA. In fact my scaffolding is leaning against the house in preparation to removing the antenna to check it over and repair or replace it. Hope to get it down next week. I live on a hill. We're at 200'+ fairly high for swamp land with a number of TV stations within 50 - 60 air miles.

Was hoping someone as cheap as I am had found a cheap B/T relay. May buy one or the units on Amazon and try it out.

I live in the country so my Internet is thru ATT twisted pairs. Works OK, can be slow sometimes. My son did as you have, but he lives about 20 miles South where Internet and reception is better.

Thanks for your comments

Got me a new (used) Toy Friday. 2002 Polaris 500 HO Sportsman. getting too old to wrestle the recon out of the mud. this is like a Cadillac compared to the recon.. OMG

went out for the day with my son and some friends for some R&R....

Looks like that would be handy! some of the neighborhood guys here all went with the gator type 4- wheelers. They have taken me for rides in them----interesting units for sure----run about 25 wide open on the road, BUT when ya git on site----just keep on truckin with them! lol!

turn that (was gonna be a loader)Ford Ranger pickup into a gator vehicle Sonny,cut it down widthwise and longways..there's your NEXT project

OH, DEAR!!! a 90 mph gator!! ---LOVE it! lol!! Ya could probably gear it down to a decent speed for power and traction. I do need the narrow width on everything around here! ---HMMMM!

couple packs of SawZall blades, zip ties, a stick welder and a sledgehammer later we have....

A disaster???? LOL!!! ---- Ya gotta do something with the ranger 4x4 AND an 84 and 95 S-10, also 76 E-200?, van body----excellent rear axle under it! ---- Escort front wheel drives???? A 93 and a 94 with running 4 cylinder motors. HMMMMM! sooooo many choices, not enough time! LOL!

for my money, the Escorts would be getting chopped mid-body,right behind the door and both front halves would be getting welded together into a farm/field escort vehicle.might want to keep the door post intact to maintain structural rigidity,the body will tweak and twist without it.The E200 van, a 3/4T, would become a flatbed with only the front cab area having a roof,beins a van its easier to get in and out of than a pickup.Maybe make it into a crane truck for moving implements? As far as the Ranger and S10s would be good only for driving in the field till they quit..just not enough there to be worthwhile of using.
Scrap's up right now, maybe just dump it all off and buy some ice cream and sit on the back porch..but what fun would that be

oh yeah almost forgot Sonny you'll need an oxy torch set and a big vise mounted on the flat van back bumper..with a pintle hook also just in case
