[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 139371, member: 11550"] Sorry, but I don't think this is feasible. I don't have Dish (or even cable) but my understanding is this: 1) you can have the signal split to multiple locations and all can recieve all channels, but each location needs a cable box to decode the signals. 2) you can use the TV server with external control to change channels, then any PC on the network can theoretically watch any channel, but only the one dish channel at a time (again, unless you have multiple dcoder boxes). 3) you can do what I suggested above, but again, only one channel at a time, all controlled by the main PC. 4) as you say decode all channels and modulate to regular UHF. You'll still need one decoder box and one modulator for each channel you wish to distribute so again it's not very practical. Hope this helps or am I on the wrong track again? BTW, Option 4 is what large hotels do to distribute cable throughout. In the basement they have a giant cabinet full of cable boxes and modulators. They also have the same thing for movies on demand, a cabinet full of VCR's playing porn. Newer systems use hard disks though. [/QUOTE]
