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............
