Interesting that YOU should ask that question, Tim.


Hey! OTA is in another galaxy far far away that I left
a long long time ago. I dread the day that the condo
association votes to put in HiDef CATV. I know I'll
get stuck with implementing it, just like I got stuck
with implementing the satellite MDU system a couple
years ago.



If the receiver is powered up, the OTA signals go into
the receiver they just sit there and do nothing. When
the power to the receiver is turned off, the output port
of the receiver is switched from the modulated channel 3/4
to the OTA input, thus making the receiver just a passive device. A splice, if you will.

In a multiswitch, the terrestrial port goes through a splitter
(4 or 8-way) then through a diplexer for each output port.


Do any receiver models pass OTA thru as a response
to remote command without completely de-powering?
