Kurt,
You're correct. You don't need a DC blocker for your Smart TV.
However, you should use a 30 dB attenuator (as indicated in the linked
article) to protect your TV. The Mini-Circuits attenuators are not too
expensive (at least in the US).

CATV attenuators (75 ohm, which is what will be coming out of the back
of said TV) are super-cheap, and can be purchased in various
denominations...

Hello at all, it is my first time using a mailing list so I hope I
have done everything right.
Is it possible to use the "connection" setup described in
https://kb.ettus.com/Transmitting_DVB-S2_with_GNU_Radio_and_an_USRP_B210 to
transmit a DVB-T2 signal to a Smart TV via cable instead of using
antennas? As far as I understand it the DC Blocker is only used to
block the LNB Power that is provided by the receiver. So in my case
there would not be the need of a dc blocker because DVB-T2 atenna do
not require power?
So my question is just about the hardware connection between my USRP
B210 and the Smart TV - all software related stuff seems very clear
for me 😊. I am just afraid of killing my Smart TV or worst my USRP.
Best, Kurt
