Residential Video Distribution

Residential video distribution has come a long way since the days of a roof-mounted antenna connected to a TV by a length of 300 ohm twin-lead flat-cable snaking through a window screen. Back in those days just about anybody could hook up a TV. And when a home had more than one TV (which was rare) the other sets made do with rabbit ears!

Then came cable. At first the cable companies were more than happy to hook up your TVs for free, just to get your long-term business. If you had more than one TV, they just put a splitter on the side of your home. They controlled the signal level coming down the cable so if they needed more signal strength, they handled it "up at the pole."

After a while, the cable companies became the de-facto masters of video distribution and, thus, were able to charge for installations. Over the last few years, there has been a trend for the homeowner to take charge of the low-voltage wiring within the home. This trend was driven, for the most part, by the phone and cable TV companies' attempt to make installations a "profit center." When phone and cable installations got expensive enough (and sloppily done, at that) the homeowners started doing it themselves.
