They have to be an i series receiver. There is a plain SD version and an HD DVR version.
AFAIK, wireless is not an option. I don't know the bandwidth per channel (I asked, just was never told), but was told it would fit in 100 megabits. It is multicast, so multiple receivers with the same show use the same upstream... stream. The guy I was working with said they can evaluate the particular project and massage it to help it obtain DirecTV's approval. The deal with the ROW is that DirecTV doesn't want themselves or you to possibly be considered a franchise. http://www.directv.com/images/assets/mdu/DIRECTV_MFH3.pdf ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jeromie Reeves" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 6:00 PM To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Running Fiber + Sending Sat over it? > I am extremely interested in this.
