[QUOTE="pgh13, post: 649942, member: 191774"] There are a couple of different directions here that may be worth exploring....(please note these are random thoughts and may stimulate further discussion) The idea of being able to watch different programs in multiple locations goes beyond the concept of a loft box where a number of sources at a common point are combined and then distributed via co-ax to the other viewing points. However, you are limited by the the choice of viewing at the central point and by the functionality of the receiving equipment - S-y box limitations. For satellite viewing check out SMATV systems but these are designed for commercial use and hence are expensive Freeview, if available where you are gives a fair selection of channels so need to get a good Terrestrial signal to each location. Not knowing the capbilities of the DVD jukebox - is it designed to be able to view remotely? Take a look at home theatre PC/ media centre equipment/software. They will allow independent access to content transmitted through Cat5 to thin client devices. Look at things like Popcorn Hour - generic term network media tank and for Media centre take a look at GBPVR - I've used this for a few years since replacing TiVo. [/QUOTE]
