Re: Video Distribution

Thanks Tony

               
Sounds like it will be well worth the wait . No wonder the
poor buggers not on line  with all that on his plate. What about that
TTS
system that Ken and Ian brought up a while back ? Is that the 2 zone
amp
thingy .
Voltage drop should not be a problem  maybe on real long runs . Im
assuming
all modules have same dc input voltages. Probably a good question for
Keith
next time he goes on line.

Thanks for the info

Frank Mc
