Contact Panaway and Calix. They have lots of TV options. Directv will let you do MTU systems. There should be a way to combine the two. FTTH systems with analog lasers can transport conventional CATV signals. Or become a Directv distributor. That is what do do for most of our areas. -

I would never use coax for 5.8 period. Not unless you are only going a few feet. LMR900 can be used for up to 50 feet. It is better than 1/2 heliax. But really, you gotta use waveguide if you are going any distance at all. - Original Message - From: Matt Jenkins [EMAIL PROTECTED]
