DTV Idea
« on: August 27, 2005, 09:35:37 PM »
As allways I'm usually dissatisfied with the workability of some of todays consumer electronics.  Why hasn't anyone developed  a directv wireless home network?

it's simple.  Directv comes in from the dish and goes into a cable type router.  It then gets converted and sent out via wireless.  You have multiple channles going to each reciever so you could put a TIVO in every room.  THEN, you network all the TIVOs together were as one could play something on anothers hard drive in another room.

No stupid cables running all over the house.  could it at least work from a technology stand point.

Its too smart, DTV wont go for it. DTV signal is way over-compressed and fuzzy on hi def tv's

It's not a transmitter/receiver type deal, with everything going from the antenna downstream to the tuners.

More like transponders. The receiver sends voltages up to the LNB (antenna).

yes I know this, that can be powered by the initial router or even a plug in power supply.  We used those for microwave antennas to power the down converter.  Signal going downstream 25VDC going up.  

I truly think this is a viable option.  The MPAA and all the other organizations would fight a flash card plug and play system tooth and nail so this would be the next best thing.
