Looking for resources for TV RF delay line?


PhilButton

Hi

I haven't done any construction since school days but really loved doing it.

I have an idea for a project which will solve an AV issue I have at home.

I use the powered RF2 output on my Sky+HD box to to distribute my Digital TV aerial signal and my Sky output to 3 TV's in my house.

I've just bought a new (4th) main TV and that receives the HDMI output from the Sky Box.

The decryption of the HDMI in the TV leads to a delay in this main TV which causes an echo around the house. It's a fraction of a second of about 100 to 300ms. The analogue signal getting to the 3 peripheral TV's first!

I imagine that I can put a simple resistance/capacitance circuit in the RF2 output, inline, but don't know quite where to start looking for resources.

Would any one be prepared to guide me?

So I need to learn a bit about the AV RF signal and I'll need some maths to calculate component values?
