Julie,
What about certification for HDMI over IP products? I know there are a few options in the marketplace - are any of these HDMI certified, and if not, is there a certification path for this?

Funny, Richard—I guess it IS tough to see the logic in the images. Just like with CableCard tuners on PCTVs ... the wiring is internal. There’s a coax port on the PC case that wires to the card. What you’re seeing here is…

This card looks like a receptacle for a CableCard. What about the coax wire (you know, the one with the actual video signal)...where does it go? I keep seeing pictures of this thing, but I’ve yet to see a picture that shows…

We’re a busy gang over here!
Glad you’re reading. Will change the typo from “jell” to “gel”
Bob (Posted on 03/15/10, 12:56 PM)
Here’s a picky grammatical point, which I’m surprised slipped past the excellent editors at CEPro . . .

Great story. One enhancement to the sump pump sensor is to also add an automatic shut valve like Watercop to the system and program the system relay to trigger the water shut off when the moisture sensor detects water.

Dan Fulmer made three radical changes to 15-year-old Fultech Solutions in 2009. It launched a commercial division, opened a 2,500-square-foot “green” showroom and rolled out $1,695-per-year service contracts. The company, which used to do 15 percent commercial work, now does 50 percent.
