Tim,
The
reason the modules are as they are is probably for ease of
manufacturing.
They all use the same board, just with different components (so I
understand
>from
of space in those boxes and it is unlikely to be cost effective given that
the
warts are so cheap.
There
would probabyl be enough room in a deep double wall socket for a unit &
PSU,
but again, I suspect cost is one of the issues - a new circuit board would
be
required, probably not as flexible a design as the current one, so there
would
be initial costs with getting a production run of these made etc
etc.
I
can
fully understand Keith going for the greatest flexibility for the
largest
no. of people, even if it does not necessarily fir with my requirements
either
:-)
Perhaps when Keith gets rich on the back of the original modules
(and of
course the switch!), he will have time & money to invest in wall socket
versions (damn good idea BTW Tim), or indeed, the 'bare bones; systems
mentioned
on the website may be an option if a) he gets time to do them and b) you
have
the know-how to bung it all together into a wall socket /
box-with-psu.
Not
really helpful to u I suspect, jsut my 2p worth!
Tony

Website Updated
A couple of things
spring to mind.
Is it possible to
engineer the units with a power supply on the PCB? That's what John Sim
does
with his RGB to SVideo converter, and it makes the thing much neater (I
HATE
wall worts!)
Would it be
possible
to build them so they will fit into a double wall box - again that smacks
of a
far neater installation - I realise that would restrict portability, but
certainly in my case (small house) I would have one behind the telly in the
bedroom and one behind the Sky box.
Only suggestions,
you
can do with them what you will, but both of these would actually persuade
me
to put at least one run of CAT5 into my new house J

[ukha_d] KAT5 Website Updated
Hi all,
I have finally got round to updating the www.kat5.tv
website.
It now includes a
brief history on the development of KAT5
There is information on feeding multiple receivers from
one transmitter.
and......
