I like those diagrams BillyG. We sure could use a first hand report on the whole solution. Especially the extended set tops and the appearance of the graphics. Anyone see it with their own eyes? OT-My bets are that next year that 3com ethernet switch will be gone and replaced with nice FC-switch to access all the data that will be put on the SAN.

There are not very many DTV broadcasts out there.................... digitaltelevision.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DTV News: - The November 23 issue of Warren Publishing's Television & Cable Action Update lists only nine fully-licensed DTV stations on the air (up from a long-time three), but 91 stations are said to have construction permits and another 73 have submitted applications. Nine is obviously lower than the forty or so said to have carried HDTV programming at the end of October and in early November, but many of those were not yet fully licensed. How many of those 40 or so have remained on the air with HDTV is a matter of some interest. Robin Wilson of DiviCom, on the OpenDTV Forum last week, opined "a guess that, since the number of stations broadcasting HD today is less than on November 1 and continuing to fall, maybe I can afford to wait a few more years [to get an HDTV receiver]." It appears to be the case that, even though the FCC requires DTV stations to be on the air whenever their associated NTSC stations are, that doesn't seem to be happening yet. Maybe that's a difference between the fully licensed stations and those just experimenting.
