Earl, any idea when the Frequency Translator Module will be ready? And how exactly will this work? Will we just be able to split the sat signal like any other signal (Obviously with a special sat splitter, not some cheap $15.0 thing lol), or just that we can run 1 cable into the sat input, and the receiver will split it?

I don't have the details to share yet.

And no announcements about FTM at CES?

I read that as, "As soon as it's mentioned in a presentation at CES this week we can discuss".

Let's all form an angry mob and beat it out of Earl lol j/k

Anything from CES on this? I really need this for my house as I already have a centralized network/coax/telco rack in my house with 2 coax to each room. I won't drag another to each room, it'd be a PITA.

yes and no. No official news, nor an official timeline. In fact, not even a whispered timeline, alas.

FTM does have a new name: SWM. Single-wire Multiswitch.

Sorry I don't have more (like one in my attic)...

Did you notice that he said he didn't have the details to "SHARE". He didn't say he didn't have any details.

Perhaps we'll see more info once we find out more about the upcoming D12 receiver which is supposed to be FTM capable.

 

[Iwanthd]

Will the FTM be a powered switch? It seems there are some that have added powered multiswitches to their HR20 set-ups and have fewer problems than those without them.

 

[tfederov]

I had to bring this back to the front... with the D12 being FTM capable and out now (although software disabled), how far are we from getting the info?

 

[P Smith]

We are as far as you with the 13th post in the thread.
