[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1022657, member: 176704"] CH: As you said, a very long read, and I only skimmed a little of that relating to the "600 MHz" band - looks to me like nothing is really a done deal as yet - but still means that the use of channels above Ch 30 may become progressively more vulnerable if used for local distribution in buildings. Thinking that, assuming I stay with the existing Sky box with RF2 connector until it "dies", I might need to get that filter to put between the UHF antenna and the Loftbox. OTOH might have to try to "squeeze" the house distribution channel in between 2 of the existing DTT channels in the Ch 21-30 range = "fun" and some different filters with very sharp bandpass/rejection characteristics? Might similar units be needed in communal distribution systems to protect the "whole" internal system? Then again, what happens to that idea if the 2 (?) new DTT multiplexes (didn't get around to reading to see what they might be used for) in the 600MHz band do come on line ? OTOH, looks like Ch 36 will stay free for the cross-border experiments - so maybe fit a Ch 36 "stopper" between the antenna and the Loftbox, and use that channel for the house system? PS: If the existing Sky Box does dies (and it probably will at some time) then we get stuck with the new boxes with Wifi connection adapters - so even more congestion of the available Wifi channels? (Anyone know which of the 2.4 and 5GHz bands those adapters use? - I suspect the latter) [/QUOTE]
