In the dim, distant past of 20th Century Cayman Islands Cable TV, a technician would come into your home, drill a hole in the wall, feed through a coaxial cable from the cable TV service, and attach a selector box into which you’d plug your TV using another coaxial cable. Where you placed the TV then depended on the length of the cable and how likely it was to become a trip hazard or other annoyance. If you wanted to rearrange the room or use a TV in another room in the house, the technician would need to return to drill more holes, lay more cable and install more selector boxes.
Not no more. Just like with wireless internet and smartphones, the need for physical cable connection is now redundant. Wireless cable TV connections have a range of between 50 and 100 feet and transmit through floors, ceilings, and walls. They offer better quality signals and more features than standard cable TV.
Wireless cable TV uses a transmitter connected to your existing set-top box in the house and a receiver connected to your TV. It's a perfect way to avoid cables in the walls and running around the house. You can enjoy a wireless streaming experience wherever you want to place or move your TV.
Depending on the equipment, it’s also possible to watch two different channels on two TVs from the same wireless connection, provided the TV has an internal tuner (most do), and each TV has its own wireless receiver. Infra-red remote extenders and remote control devices allow you to change channels even when the cable box is in another room.
Providers are now offering TV services encompassing both cable and wireless in the Cayman Islands. Logic TV has IPTV (Internet Protocol television), which has an optical fibre internet cable into the home, connected to a transmitter, then wirelessly transmits a high-definition signal to the TV in your home.
Apart from freedom from unsightly and awkward cables, wireless cable TV offers enhanced service, including better picture quality, more available channels and more add-on features such as video-on-demand, catch-up TV, and whole-home DVR.
As a 21st Century solution to a 20th Century problem, wireless cable TV spells the end for annoying and unwieldy cables and the restrictions of a wired TV experience, as well as offering multiple wireless signals from one cable connection and the freedom to watch TV anywhere in the home without any hassle.
