Yeah, Verizoff designed their ONU boxes to pick up the house CATV and telephone pairs since their intent was to use both. They never came out our way in Voorheesville (though they DID put the fiber on the poles in order to collect the revenue for not wiring them up (thanks, NYSPSC) since all you have to do to get paid in NY is to hang shit on poles, there's no requirement to actually wire it up. :(So we had DirecTV out there and so I built a rack in the basement and put in modulators for the VCR's, DVD players, video server and the two receivers along with RF-based remote control repeaters. So all anyone had to do in any of the rooms was turn on the TV, pick a channel for the device with the remote and then control the device with the remote through a set top pyramid that relayed the remotes back to the rack downstairs. Pretty neat arrangement indeed and all that sat on any of the sets was the little Radio Shack pyramid to pick up the IR from the remotes and transmit it downstairs. |
