Unicable
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unicable technology is a satellite TV technology that enables the delivery of broadcast programming over a single cable to multiple users and eliminates the numerous cables required to support consumer electronics devices such as Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and high end Set Top Boxes (STBs). The product allows consumers to easily upgrade their basic STBs without the need for a specialist installation engineer to visit the home. Unicable uses an integrated software and hardware solution that allows Unicable - certified Digital Video Recorders and Set Top Boxes to multiplex selected programming when using Unicable Low Noise Block (LNB) or Multiswitching products. The Unicable Interoperability Platform is open to companies designing and/or marketing satellite and other broadcast-related products. The platform is designed to facilitate the acceptance of Unicable-certified solutions in the consumer TV broadcast market.
