CATV/Antenna/SAT

In my opinion your best bet is a CV enclosure.

A CV enclosure will take CV module and Leviton modules without any drilling needed. Your typical ELK security mounting plates and such all work fine as well. The CV enclosure will not take CV modules without modification.

A Leviton enclusre needs some extra holes drilled for CV modules and needs significant holes drilled for OnQ modules.

An OnQ enclosure will only take OnQ stuff as far as i know.

I own a 42" Leviton and don't own OnQ and CV, but I do have all 3 types of modules in my enclsure and make the above conclusions from examining the pin spacing and pin shape/size.

The CV phone distro module you show looks to be to support line seizing. I have http://www.audio-discounters.com/c-0432.html but i think you already have you phone punched down somewhere and want to patch it do a distro right?

I'm not sure if I was just lucky, but I have a 38" CV enclosure and have quite a few Levition modules in there with no modification. I should have got the 50" CV, but I got a rack for all my other connections instead.

For CATV distro in Leviton, I would use either the 47693-ESM or 47693-3BY if you were going to do some analog camera modulation in the future. Or the two part setup would be 48210-VA and 47690-6C2.

Quick note on directv vs dish and multiswitches -

You have 4 wires coming down from the dish - so you have likely a 5lnb dish - good

you have two wires going into a DVR - meaning you are using probably a zinwell 4X8 multiswitch - these are most common.

Good news is that later you can replace the 4X8 with a SWM-8 and add OTA capability to all the TVs - IF your receivers are SWM compatible - look on the back where the coax goes in and see if ALL of them say SWM. If not you can't make the change.

lots of details on my wiki bocsco[dot]com[slash]support

look into avcast avatrix. It is by far the simplest and most compleat solution it is a 6x6 switcher that can expand to a 32 or 64 switcher. I am using one quite happy. The unit is pretty expensive but all you need to run is 2 cat5 cables so your runs are cheaper for most of my installs the saving in cable makes up for the cost of the unit. Also for the future you have cat5e cable run instead of coax so you can alwas use cat5e since everything is going to be networked.
