[QUOTE="tfc, post: 952379, member: 304044"] You mention that the LNB outputs wideband signals. Is there likely to be any problem with existing coax runs not being capable of handling the increased bandwidth? Also, ignoring DTT for the moment, could it be said that Sky are introducing a more simplified and cost effective approach to distributing satellite TV signals? It seems that what is needed at the receiver end (for existing receivers) is a device capable of replicating the LNB functions. Presumably this is now just another chipset which Sky have included in their 'Q' boxes? Are there any stand alone devices which fulfil this function or are there any existing receivers which contain this functionality? Also, the topology you describe is analogous to a fibre setup. Would this change in approach translate better if fibre became the method of carrying the signals, rather than coax? [/QUOTE]
