    Expensive though, about $100 each.

    Could anyone enlighten on the use of a DiSEqC switch for analog or digital TV coax switching?

    No,
    a coax relais may switch between to cables, he needs a modulator to put his information on the cable.

    Red face brings back memories.

    this is just about exactly the way cable companies did it with their old analog boxes. they had a digital control signal between channels that addressed a box and told it what channels to descramble. a friend of mine *cough* used to have a test box that blocked the control frequency [this case was 107mhz i think, selectable via dip switches for that box brand or cable carrier] and sent its own signal to the box. it would go through each address and activate all channels. eventually it would get to the address of the box connected, sometimes it took a few minutes. if i remember correctly it was a pic sending the codes.

    Words are not enough to express what I feel now.

    Keep sharing the knowledge we have.

    Thanks very much Joe.

    Default thank u

    currently guys, here in the Philippines, most of the cable company uses analog signals.. is there a best way to use this technology(analog) from unauthorized use.

    I am thinking of addressable taps or addressable box. hahahah

    thanks a lot for sharing.. im still gathering information so I can have the idea where to start.
