Combined with the innovative design of the Home Director solution, the average home buyer is now able, for the first time, to purchase a home networking system that is customizable for their needs – yet does not require a special hardware configuration. Yes its a cable modem, and its the Time Warner techs that rewired the box to add that amplifier that you see in the pics. All connections to the house run to that box then distibuted out to the rest of the house.
In order to log this waymark in this category, you must be able to provide proof of your visit. Please post a picture of yourself or your GPSr in front some identifiable feature or point of interest either in the museum, or on the museum grounds. Also you might to start labeling cables so you know where the cable services.. You're gonna have cable boxes at each TV -- no way around that.
IBM touts Home Director
Presently, IBM has authorized integrators across the country and is in the process of broadening this base. In my earlier post I stated that the yellow cables are telephone and the blue ones are ethernet. When I stated that the 'accessories' do not exist anymore I was referring to network modules etc. that they originally offered and had on their site, which don't exist anymore.
The company seems to have gone bankrupt and I can't get anything out of them regarding tech support or dealers. "What IBM is doing is bringing awareness to what was an obscure new development in home building," said Steve Raschke director of marketing forDigital Interiors, a San Jose, Californa-based firm that installs IBM's Home Director. IBM also announced today its partnerships with home networking integration and construction firms in nine states, including California, Texas, and Oklahoma. IBM yesterday introduced its Home Director networking system, the latest in the company's efforts to increase its visibility as a provider of cutting-edge home technology.

This look's like a poor man's attempt of wiring a home with sub standard parts, no disrespect intended... I've tried the documentation on their site before, not as thorough as it seems, and I don't understand it all. With a newborn in the mix now, having hours of sparetime to sit and figure where each wire comes from and goes to is not going to happen anytime soon. Spice up your small talk with the latest tech news, products and reviews. With the Home Director announcement, IBM is going one step further in bringing cutting-edge technology to consumers, making technology part of the home itself. On Wednesday, Big Blue announced it was shipping consumer PCs enabled with speech recognition software and developing wearable PCs.
If yuou have basic or expanded basic only, then boxes are needed. If you have cable/telephone you are taking advantage of everything you have. Looks as though your local cable guy has made some changes to the install and a seperate 4 way splitter feeding things. Looking at your panel, its just a structured panel, with a video amplifier, punched down telephone.
IBM INTRODUCES ITS HOME NETWORKING PRODUCT

You should be able to figure it out quite easily, but my suggestion is find you a local guy to make heads and tails of it for you. Anyone with a toner and cable tester can identify all of those easily for you.
You mention rewire with CAT6, when right now the whole house is wired with CAT5e. Thats an undertaking I don't know if I am willing to go through since we only plan on being here maybe 2 more years. I like your suggestion of the switches, all I have to do is figure out how to implement said suggestion. Personally looking at your current setup I'd say you need a integrated services switch from cisco... As pointed out, the documentation isn't clear so makes it more difficult to do add router etc. myself.
Category 5 twisted pair and Series 6 coaxial cables connected to it. The system is powered by an MMX class IBM processor, Schmidt said, and runs on a Windows-based operating system. "It uses the Home Director software, which we view to be the first operating system for the home," Schmidt said. "It only uses about 25 percent of the dedicated processor, so there is a great capacity to upgrade." Just follow the steps outlined in my previous post and you should have internet all over the place.
Not much different from what you would see with an OnQ, Leviton, or other box. The modules from all the different companies all do the same functions for the most part. The cost of installation ranges from $750 to $1,500, Raschke said, when installed in new homes. Once installed, the home owner pays standard Internet, cable, and telephone service fees. IBM Home Director gives home owners access to high-speed Internet connections, home entertainment devices, phones, video feeds for security purposes, as well as the ability to control home appliances from a centrally located console.
As for internet, I didn't see a router or switch in any of the pictures. The hanging yellow cables are probably for the network outlets. It looks like all of the cables are labeled, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out where each one goes.
The Boxes video amp probably does not pass reverse DC which means it also was replaced with teh one chilling in the middle of it all. IVB previously told me about Elk M1 I think, and I am wondering how difficult it would be for me to simply use another structured wiring case or company. Since all the wires etc. are already in one central location it shouldn't be a huge undertaking, or would it. The system I have has video, video amplifier, audio and telephone distribution. I am also using a GE CADDX Networx system for contracted security.
