RE: TV co-ax question

If you only use the RF output you will only have MONO sound on satellite.
Nicam requires a very complicated and expensive encoder to generate the
NICAM signal. Ensure you have installed at least one CAT5 cable (preferably
2)  to each location and you will be able to use my KAT5 units to send
Stereo and either Composite or SVideo to each location.

The first KAT5 units will be available in the new year. The PCB's are ready
to go to the manufacturer and it will then take about 3 weeks for the
boards to be delivered.

Subject:	[ukha_d] TV co-ax question

I am considering siting my analogue sky decoder and possibly (if I can
convince my wife) a digital decoder in the loft, along with a modulation
box for my cctv. I also have a 4 tv amplifier box. I will be using ct100
from dish to decoders, standard co-ax runs from loft to bedrooms.

The questions are :

1.  Is the standard co-ax from loft to bedrooms sufficient (the lounge
cable will be near impossible to replace without damaging wall). If I
grovel enough and permitted to get sky I will have to run the cable a
longer routing from the loft.

2.    The analogue will take one channel, digital another, modulator
another, as well as the 5 terrestrial channels. Will putting these units in
line
a/    degrade digital signal
b/     degrade nicam signal
c/     cause any other problems.

3.    Is the optimum signal from the decoders via the scart, I intend to
route this to a cat 5 patch panel which can then be linked to vcr's, i.e.
one or two for security, one for recording.

4.    I am hoping to control this lot by using Nigel's IR extender with 3-6
input locations and two outputs, i.e. inputs 1 per room, outputs 1 loft for
sky decoders and 1 for videos. This presumes all videos and decoders use
different IR codes. Can anyone foresee any problems in this setup which I
should consider, i.e. Will it work?.

I have purchased 2 colour PIR cctv kits from homebase at ?39.99 each and 1
B&W PIR cctv kit at ?34.99. This is for setting up at my elderly in
laws 1
off and of course another 1 for me, just in case.

I am still working on SWMBO approval for another TM12U. Does anyone have
comments on this or should I pursue the IR543 multi house code route. Has
anyone came across a multi housecode vesion of TM12 or similar............
