When we moved out here years ago, we had Cablevision (Dolans) and it was good for cable at the time. About a year later, they sold the system to TimeWeenie and it went in the shitter immediately. Since DirecTV had come to the area selling boxes in their early days, we were one of their first subscribers in this area and we went with two receivers from them. And since the house was fully wired for cable with cable in every room (the previous owner put in his own cabling) and I worked in the television industry, I went and hooked up a rack of television equipment and set up 8 UHF modulators into the house wiring. Two DTV receivers on channels 16 and 20 fed the entire house. Put two DVD players on channels 22 and 24, two VCR's on 14 and 26, and later added a computer video server on channel 18 and my two government cheeseboxes on 28 and 30.

All of the equipment is mounted in three racks down in the basement, and each room has an IR to RF transmitter and a receiver for that down in front of the racks which permit the remote controls being used with any set, allowing you to pick your source by channel on the sets and then tune or select from any of the devices in the rack from wherever you are in the house. Back when analog was available, the signals from the antenna were fed into the system on their existing channels, so you could pick and choose anything you wanted anywhere.

VERY flexible arrangement. :)
