Thanks for the reply. As an individual, it's really hard to decide which box to buy. I'd like to replace it, but I don't know which unit to go with.

I havn't figured out how to post a picture here. It's simple. Cable comes in the house. You install a filter to block the incoming channel you want to use (lets say ch3 just for sake of discussion). This filter also blocks your CCTV from being sent out to the guy next door. Then, you install a splitter/combiner. This will join the RF output (ch3) signal from your modulator to the cable system in the house. Follow that with a channel pass filter, and this will prevent the modulator from "bleeding over" on to adjacent channels. This now gets hooked up to the regular splitter or distribution system you have in your house. So lets say the modulator and filters are on channel 3. Now you have replaced whatever the cable company put on ch3, with whatever you have on the modulator (CCTV) Look at the TinLee web site. They have the stuff you need. ChannelVision also builds this type of setup, but I have not looked at their prices. Send Tin Lee a email and request a quote. Tell them what cable company you have, and they will have a solution. Dont try to go too cheap on the filters. They make or break the system Eddie

I guess they did not sell enough of these to have the manufacturer fix the bugs. I seem to be the only person in the world that has one. Eddie

This is easy in concept, expensive in implementation. I just received a quote to do this at my house, and the hardware from the manufacturer was going to cost me about $260, not including the modulator I already had. Essentially, 4 devices are needed. 1, A band stop filter to block the existing channel, and stop the security cam from being injected back out of the house to the rest of the world. 2, A modulator for the desired frequency, VHF ie ch3 or 4, or UHF. Some models cover a wide range of channels, some support only 1 or 2. 3, A band pass filter, keeps the modulator signal from "bleeding over" on to the adjacent channels. 4, A simple splitter/combiner. This mixes the two RF signals and feeds the existing distribution system. The money is in the filters. I do things a little different at my house. All of my TV’s have AUX Video inputs. I use a 4 port video distribution amp to feed the tv’s, but this does require an extra cable run to each TV.

I have the Luxor JPEG2000 16ch DVR. For the most part, it has been a marginally OK DVR. This device has a "Spot" monitor output. This output is supposed to cycle through the inputs in a round robin fashion. When motion is detected, that camera is supposed to be presented for a duration set in the menu's (default 3 seconds). This does not work. I contacted the vendor, Closeout CCTV (Houston, TX) and they tell me this is a known bug, and there is nothing they will do about it. Are they correct? Did Luxor really never fix this bug? This is the second generation of these boxes I have had problems with. Both units have been defective in one way or the other, with so far, no solution. Are there really no firmware upgrades available? Eddie Houston, TX
