I've heard a similar setup is similar in hotels. The hotel gets a box per channel, re-broadcasts them onto coax (same as VCRs used to put eveything on channel 3, but with more channels), and then the hotel TVs can use their built-in tuners.
- DrewRWx 12y agoIt's even moving past that: the last hotel I was at used the TV as a thin client that transmitted incoming IR signals back to its box in the server room. Needless to say, the latency was atrocious. I even saw a Windows desktop flicker during a channel change.
- ChiperSoft 12y agoSo that's why hotel TVs always take so long to change channels. I thought they were just really cheaply made tuners. It's infuriating when you just want to channel surf before bed and ever button press takes 5 seconds to register.
