RE: Coax Cable

[Mark Harrison <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Nigel,

Firstly, I fully second everything that Mark McCall just said...

On the subject of co-ax, I'm NOT running Coax to every room. Instead, I'm
going to be demodulating in "node zero" and distributing the
video over
CAT5.

There's a newly launched product called "KAT5" that's reviewed on
http:\\www.automatedhome.co.uk which does this. Keith Doxey, the
manufacturer of KAT5 is a regular contributor to this group.

Comfort is a fantastic system.  A lot of the guys on this list are using
it.
There are seperate Comfort mailing lists too which will help you with
support.

You should be using CT100 as a minimum I'd suggest and not the old brown
stuff.
