I plan to use the 172-94 kit. There is already a line of coax going
directly from room to room. The 291-00 will be placed on top of the
remote TV (the modulated video signal goes directly there). The INJ94
will also be in that room, placed between the coax and the input of
the TV, the 291-00, and connected to the power supply. The CPL94B will
be connected between the coax and the modulated RF output in the main
room. There is an end table beside the couch directly facing all the
equipment I want to control--about ten or twelve feet away. I want to
set an IR emitter there that is strong enough to control all the
equipment.
