Both the Time Warner and OTA signal includes VHF and UHF channels. Some of=

the channels are the same on the two sources. The TW signals are old=20
fashioned NTSC analog TV, the OTA of course is now digital.

The TW signal also has digital stuff that has to be preserved at a single=20
location in the house (the only place they have a digital cable box) we als=
o=20
have to preserve the PowerLink internet signal, but that could probably be=

tapped off before the combiner.

The simple solution here would seem to be to run a second coax to each TV=20
location. Unfortunately this would be very difficult as the house is an old=
=20
rambling 3 story farmhouse with about 9 TVs (for a 7 person family!).

What I was hoping to find was a black box that would shift the OTA signals=
=20
up above the range used by TW, allowing the two signals to be combined on=20
the same coax without interference. Another black box at the set would down=
=20
shift the OTA stuff back to where it came from.

It is important to note that we want to have random access to and channel i=
n=20
either set simultanously at each TV. It seems nobody can agree on what to=20
watch :-)
