its an alternative the the existing RF Coax that people are currently using
to distribute terrestrial TV and RF outputs of Set Top boxes etc.
The pair with a bandwidth of 900MHz would be able to carry the full UHF TV
band as this extends to 860MHz. You would still have the problem that your
remotely located set top box would only give you an RF quality picture with
mono audio not the S-Video or RGB picture that you could get by using KAT5.
