A Client from the Leeds Road area of Harrogate came to us with a challenge. The client is a property developer in the North of Yorkshire and wanted the benefits of a Sky multiroom system, with its implied relatively low cost, but he wanted it from a Virgin V+ Box, and at the same time wanted to benefit from the HD capabilities in his primary viewing zone (lounge) on his 50″ Panasonic plasma display.
Having been set the challenge, our R and D department were quick off the mark, apparently waiting for this exact opportunity. Within 24 hours, a system was specified and agreed that would fulfill all the clients needs, from RF distribution, to Sky-equivalent Magic-Eye Control.
Once implemented, the system was upgraded to Philips Pronto control in the lounge through a TSU9300 combined with RFX9400 unit, allowing full discrete control of the clients remote hardware rack, including not only his V+ Box, but also his media server and Blu-Ray Transport.
The Virgin Backfed sets (Kitchen and Bedroom) were set up to be controlled by a pair of Logitech Harmonys, simply to remove any excess remote clutter from this stylish, minimalist house
