Abstract

The invention relates to an improved extension device for a DVB-T-receiver characterised in that it comprises an indoor-repeater (9) enabling the received and for digitised signals supplied to be emitted or are emitted in a non-converted manner via an antenna device (13) associated with the repeater (9) or arranged in the repeater (9) or connected thereto.

Claims

1. An extension apparatus for a DVD-T receiver, characterized by an indoor repeater (9), by means of which the received and/or supplied digitized signals can be radiated or are radiated in a non-converted manner via the antenna device (13) which is provided in the repeater (9) or is assigned to the repeater (9) or can be connected thereto.

2. The extension apparatus as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the repeater (9) operates passively.

3. The extension apparatus as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the repeater (9) operates actively with generation of amplified radiation.

4. The extension apparatus as claimed in one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the repeater (9) can be connected to a coaxial interface, in particular an antenna connection socket (11).

5. The extension apparatus as claimed in one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the repeater (9) can be connected or is connected directly to an antenna connection cable, in particular to a coaxial cable.

6. The extension apparatus as claimed in one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the repeater (9) can be accommodated or arranged in a manner concealed beneath a surface.

7. The extension apparatus as claimed in one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the repeater (9) can be connected on a surface.

8. The extension apparatus as claimed in one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the repeater (9) can be connected as a plug-on module, in particular to an antenna socket or as plug module to a coaxial cable on the antenna side.
