Hi all
I remember a discussion a few weeks ago with someone asking whether
to install a KAT5 only, Coax only or dual Kat 5/Coax system for his
tv distribution round the house.
With Pace's latest announcement of producing digital terrestrial set
top for free to air tv at affordable prices - does this mean that
the future of Coax is secured?
I think the main advantage of KAT5 was for superior TV picture
distribution, but had the disadvantage of being able to only
distribute one picture signal.
With these affordable new set top boxes, and new tellies coming
bundled with integrated digital receivers - Coax now has the
advantage of being able to distribute an excellent picture quality
and multiple channels..
The main problem that remains is being able to distribute digital
DVD/video sources on to the same feed as the terrestrial signal
coax. Digital terrestrial signal encoder anyone?? lol
Therefore for a new TV distribution install, a dual system is still
required. Coax for digital terrestrial, and KAT5 for DVD/video.
thoughts?
(I'm soon to embark on installing a TV distribution system into my
house)
Cheers
Tom
