i got bored last night waiting for calls to roll in and came up with an idea for a new type of satellite receiver. since i started working for a big dish company Ive heard nothing but complaints from heavy techers who want an all hd setup but don't want the hassel of one receiver for each room and the costs associated with them. so heres my idea, what im hoping is that the folks here may have ideas to help bring this to fruition.
this would be an HD satellite home distribution system. dvr capable with 5Tb storage via a raid 5 configuration, separate hdd for receiver functions. 8 inputs for signal from the dish, one for OTA antenna. output would be compressed and transmitted via cat5 or 802.11n to small set top boxes. these boxes would have 1 input on the back and the standard hd outputs (component and hdmi and 1 pcm). all signal would be routed through the central system and then to the stb.
i think this would be perfect for most high tech customers but also for some of the customers who like moving their tvs around and don't want to pay a tech to do it for them, (my company charges $100 to do that). well folks let me know what you think and also if you think its feasible.
