        There are several advantages with using stick on emitters ...1: No chance of something phyically blocking the signal . 2: Home vision has total control of the ir system .3:Having total control Homevision will know the status of all equipment ,ie on / off muted etc , with a blaster system Homevision or the remote can send signals to the receiving device therefore Statuses unknown . My first home brew unit was a blaster type system and when working on the current system some of the guys explained to me about the stick on emitter system and eventually it sunk in.................

That's much clearer now.

But what's the advantage of using stick-on emitters with splitter over blaster. They will all send the same signal anyway (if splitters are not intelligent in some way)?

Just more wiring. I thought that you use stick-on emitters when you have two pieces of same equipment i.g. two sky settop boxes, so then you change program on one it will not change it on the other. But if you have plain splitter, it will send the same signal on both, so no much difference from using a blaster.

As I understand it (and I have been following Franks work quite
closely) the controller unit is the transmitter and is capable of
transmitting independently to up to 8 zones. At each zone you could
then have a splitter to control multiple pieces of equipment (through
stick on transmitters) within that zone.

The receivers are mounted within a zone and then connected back to
the controller which can also detect the zone that the command has
been sent from, so you end up with full two way zoning.

A 'basic' setup would therefore consist of the main controller with
CAT5 to each zone, then in each zone that you want to be able to send
commands from you will attach a receiver to the CAT5 and in each zone
you want to control equipment wou will attach either a splitter and
multiple stick-on emitters, or you will use a blaster.

If I am wrong about any of this then I am sure Frank will correct me
(though he might have gone to bed now!).
