The same RF service can be received by multiple compatible televisions. The practical limit comes from the engineered distribution network and its outlet performance, not a simple one-encoder-per-room rule. Independently selectable programs, RF carrier capacity, and room count are separate sizing inputs.

An HD modulator creates a television RF service for reception by compatible tuners over a coax network. An HDMI extender transports an HDMI connection using its specified transmission method and receiver equipment. They serve different distribution designs; compare the receiving equipment, distance, channel selection, and number of displays required.
