The second video has a lot better audio quality and description over the service: http://justaddpower.com/
I've called them up twice when I was working on a video project and both times got the guy in the video. I think he's the brains behind the outfit too. It ended up not being a good solution for me at the time, but he was happy to listen to me and answer question. -- Mike Gill -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.

Our school district has cable television available to each school through the local cable company. We have a new(er) school which we are now looking at providing television services. In our older schools, the cable company ran coax to each classroom with a centralized industrial splitter... giving many channels a grainy, less than ideal image. Hey, it's the 21's century... can I push the video over IP? Here's what I'm envisioning: Cable comes into our MDF, and we have some kind of encoder that takes the signal. Then, throughout a building we have some decoders which happily take the feed from the encoder and play it to whatever kind of TV it's plugged into. The decoder would be able to control which channel the encoder is sending... and for extra points the decoder's remote can control the TV's power and volume. Does such a solution exist? Some more details: The cable company only provides basic cable for free, which does _not_ require one of their own decoding boxes. I know that the signal that the basic cable provides is ye-old-analogue signaling, plus a few of the new digital channels. My expertise in TV signaling is extremely limited, so I don't know much more than that. Has anybody had experience with this kind of TV distribution over IP? (Not to be confused with IPTV.) I know this could go crazy... Multicasting, Recording/DVRs, user security, PC clients, etc... but let's start with what would be very basic (Live TV only) and cheap.
