Winegard Turns the Triple Play Into an MDU or Residential Home Run™, Adds Triple Stacked HDTV Technology and Remote MDU System Monitoring
Burlington, Iowa (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) January 11, 2006 -- Installers and builders got their first look at Winegards newest product, the HOME RUN, at EHX in Anaheim in November and will get another look at CES 2006. Bob Howell, Director Signal Distribution/Off-Air Antenna Business Group, said Winegard has taken the Triple Play, VoIP, High Speed Broadband Internet and Satellite/Off-Air Video, one step further, by incorporating all the Triple Play services and much more, in one delivery system and bundling them in a new HOME RUN structured wiring box that distributes this package on a single existing RG-6 coax cable. First in the new HOME RUN structured wiring box is Multilet" technology, under an exclusive agreement with Multilet US. Because TV and Ethernet use signals at different frequencies, they can be combined and transmitted on the same existing cable using the new Multilet system, providing High Speed Internet, local VHF/UHF TV broadcasts and Satellite TV (DBS) programming, even HDTV onto a single existing coaxial cable run. This offers multi-dwelling unit installers, the enormous advantage to network or retro-fit an entire MDU project on one existing RG-6 coaxial run. One central distribution point saves time and money, makes retrofits easy, inexpensive, fast and cost efficient.
Theres no need to rewire for LAN or Cat-5 to distribute to each room/unit and cross technology capabilities make it completely transparent to fiber, copper cables, satellite or xDSL broadband. To the consumer, Winegard can now offer a product to easily network their home.Winegards has added its new TRIAD" triple-stacking technology for total HDTV reception. Winegards TRIAD takes LNB Technology to the next level. Before TRIAD, a minimum of 2 cables had to be pulled to provide full satellite HDTV signals. TRIAD allows new installations and retrofitting of MDUs and SDUs to receive all HD channels from all three satellites, by stacking all 3 signals and combining them onto a single cable.And to make this Triple Play Plus" Bundle absolutely unique, Winegard then added Advanced Media Services QuantumAlertTM, under an exclusive agreement with AMS.
It provides proactive web-enabled real-time 24/7 remote system that simultaneously monitors the entire MDU IP physical signal distribution network of entire properties, single buildings and/or an individual users IP network. Chris Silk, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at AMS said AMSs web-enabled QuantumAlert provides real-time information to the AMS Network Operation Center, allowing AMS technicians to monitor, manage and troubleshoot MDU system status from signal source, through distribution and amplification, to the modem. This network management capability allows AMS to achieve optimum performance with minimal service disruption, minimizing repair time and costly outages, while maximizing optimum user performance and fast resolution. AMS will also provide customized Triple Play design options for each property and attractive revenue sharing programs for MDU owners, while offering outstanding customer service, providing the necessary peace of mind that property managers and owners expect and Winegard requires. And we guarantee it. ComponexX" has been picked as the commercial distributor for the HOME RUN.
ComponexX has been supplying products and services to Winegard for over three years. Howell continued Eddie Diaz, President of ComponexX has consistently stood out among other vendors in his ability to understand and support the technology Winegard desired in penetrating new markets. These efforts were paramount to the success of new Winegard products. Diaz said, Critical to reaching maximum market potential for the HOME RUN product line will require the development of additional MDU component accessory items for effective signal distribution. In addition to Winegards relationships , continued Howell, Eddie has worked very successfully with the engineers and business development executives in the satellite and telephone industries and will be an invaluable resource in assisting Winegard in achieving product acceptance for the HOME RUN. No other Triple Play offering on the market can deliver this Bundle of services on one existing coax cable. Winegards HOME RUN products will be on display, live, at CES 2006 in booth #26135 in the South Hall.

HDTV stands for high definition television.
It contains images that have significantly higher details than normal televisions. Pixels in an HDTV product are usually square, smaller and are placed closer together, which results in higher visual detail.
There are a few varieties of HDTVs available, like HD flatpanel TVs, HD traditional projection TVs, and HD advanced microdisplays. HD traditional projection TVs offer larger screen sizes and lower prices, but they take up more space and are quite bulky. In addition, they have a thinner viewing angle than other forms of HDTV.
The HD flat panel TV is thin and light, and can hang on a wall. Although the majority of HDTVs are HD ready and provide the widest viewing angle and the highest contrast, these are available at a higher cost. The HD advanced microdisplays offer a lightweight design and advanced technology without the expense of a flat panel HDTV. They are HD ready and provide a big viewing angle, quality...

Tips on choosing appropriate dynamometers
In order to set up a drag car or bike for peak performance, using loads of boost / nitrous or other modifications, the best thing to have is a suitable inertial chassis dynamometer. It needs to have big diameter clean drums, with a very good grip. Dual rollers are not appropriate in this case, so don’t use them!
The dynamometer should have powerful fans and airflow and an experienced operator.
A braked system is simply unsuitable for an application like...
