In the past there has been much speculation about a D* Wireless system (or a one line from the dish to a whole house receiver that would transmit to other receivers wirelessly). This would eliminate the need for hard wiring throughout the house and provide greater flexibility in using D*. Has there been any word on the development of such a system?
Thanks. I currently send D* and OTA over the same line and have been waiting for a D* wireless so that I can still get OTA through the hard wire and D* through wireless. Looks like I will have to wait a little longer. Running separate lines is not an option.
Coax to the genie is okay. I have the D* dish in-lines and the OTA in-lines to my basement and then have coax lines throughout the house (separate lines to each room). I still currently have the Phase III dish and can diplex the D* and the OTA and send to each room and at each room I can use a diplex to separate the signals. I do not have the SWM which to my understanding does not allow diplexing (nor do any of the newer D* HD receiver systems). So I am thinking the wireless system would allow me to use the genie to send the D* signal to each wireless box. OTA would be sent through the coax. I would connect the OTA to the TV using a F connector and the D* to the TV using the HDMI. Of course the D* box would no longer have control of the OTA signals (my current H-20 HD D* box does both, but it is an old box and newer D* HD boxes do not have that function).
