Self install kits are already being used by Cablevision...but not in conjunction with @Home. This is the ATHM thread. The only way for a self install to be accomplished without a truck roll is to have the two-way HFC already in place to the right location in the house. Oh, is that all. Then the consumer can hook up a cable ready appliance, pop in a self install software CD and viola you are surfing the net at BB speed. Come delusion, come confusion, if you can imagine it, it must be true. Did you know that you could get a job in theoretical physics? What the self install kit can do for us is reduce the time per installation, I don't agree. I think it increases the average roll time by adding to number of rolls and their complexity. The crew installs the two way cable to the proper location in the house, tests the installation and leaves to the next location. The consumer then completes the installation using the self install kit. There's nothing worse than too many cooks. A crew would be blamed so they wouldn't let that go down. I wouldn't. It is critical that when you are on the hot seat that you don't beg off by letting someone help you. I have also heard of technology where by the cable can be run to the outside of the house. This box then transmits and receives radio signals to your tv/computer/internet appliance regardless of it's location in the house. It is clear that you're a beginner on this thread. Everything you've mentioned has been analyzed to death in the past here. The box to which you refer has more problems than you can imagine. If you want the details, ask Frank Coluccio: Subject 34780
