Commercial Installs
Hi
I am a commercial installer for Shaw. We install head end systems all the time. In a utility room a rack is placed with as many receivers as channels you want to have. (eg: 24, 48, 72). For each channel there is a receiver (used to use 318's but now do 209's.) and a modulator set to a specific channel. Then all these modulators are then feed into a combiner and sent out to the complex. It all depends how many channels the owners want to supply to each room. They can then pick what channels the want to put on each receiver. You have to be a commercial installer with Shaw to get into this, but the profit margins are worth it. Once you have done a few, they are pretty simple.
