CCTV Broadcast w/ Uverse

[miajay 0]

I recently had a CCTV installed in my home. It is connected to a (non-Uverse) DVR in the house and displayed on a dedicated monitor using a VGA connection. I am trying to figure out if it is possible to broadcast the CCTV on all of my TVs in the house so that we can change input or channel on a TV to see the CCTV feed. I figure that there has to be a way to push the signal through the existing Uverse connection (coax) but I have not been able to find any information on it. I found a post from another member who said he/she was able to do it but it was not specific enough to work for me (i.e., models, makes, etc.).

 

Has anyone done this or know if it is possible? Uverse has been out for a while now so I am hoping this information is out there somewhere.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry, you can't get there from here. Uverse uses the coax in an unusual way; they are running HPNA, which is basically Ethernet over coax from the RG (residential gateway) to the set top box (STB).

 

While HPNA will coexist with analog or digital broadcast (RF) TV signals, I am 99.9% sure that a standard 1 Volt CCTV video signal on the same coax would, at best, kill the uVerse connection, and at worst, kill the uVerse STB and/or RG.

^ that will not work with u verse. that modulator, like most is designed for use with standard CATV

Yes, there are devices that can coexist with CATV.

 

UVerse is not CATV, it's IPTV.

 

Most commonly the STBs are connected via Ethernet, but since 90% of the uVerse customers probably already have a coax cable running to their TV, using HPNA over coax saves the uVerse installer from having to pull a new Ethernet cable for each STB.

I as looking for a similar set up at my place so I put some research into this. You won't be able to push you dvr feed out over the same coax that your Uverse is running over so if you don't want to run any existing cabling the RF converter is probably your best option that aside you can always use the RCA or Svideo outputs which are easy to split with cheap equipment and you can order long runs of it pre-made for cheap if you know where to look.
