Transform every TV in the home into a FULL entertainment center
Do you record shows using a Tivo or dvr?Ever wish you could watch your favorite shows in some other room instead of being confined to the TV where they were recorded?
With BOCS, you decide when and where to watch your favorite shows.
BOCS takes your home entertainment components -- the cable box, dvr, iPod, DVD player, Netflix box, and anything else that has composite outputs -- and connects them to every room in your home, with no new wiring, giving you complete control of your home entertainment options.
BOCS | My TV. My Way.
The raison d'être for the BOCS system is really very simple.
Take all the electronics in your living room. This might include any of the following components:
(1) Control and view up to three entertainment sources from any TV in the home.
(2) Save money and reduce clutter. With rentals on additional set-top boxes at upwards of $10 per unit per month, BOCS can easily pay for itself over time.
Using only your existing cable wiring, BOCS connects and shares the entertainment you want with every television in your home. Installation is as easy as attaching a cable splitter and hooking up a DVD player -- total setup time can take less than half an hour.
Once installed, BOCS creates three new "channels" - Red, Green, and Blue - on every TV you own, and the included remote provides wireless control throughout the home. The state-of-the-art universal RF remote gives you the freedom to roam throughout the home and control your components without having direct line of sight.
Here's an example, with a TiVo plugged into the Red channel, a Comcast Cable Box into Green and a Windows Media Center into Blue:
Tune to the Red channel and watch your recorded TiVo shows on any TV in the house, without having to pay for another TiVo box or the hefty additional subscription fees.
Tune to the Green channel and watch live television, your favorite premium channels and Video-On-Demand from any TV in the house.
Tune to the Blue channel and enjoy your entire digital entertainment library from your Windows Media Center.

BOCS | The Ultimate TiVo Companion
With BOCS, you control and watch your DVR recordings from any TV in the home. Here are some reasons why BOCS is the ultimate TiVo companion:
BOCS Saves Money - If you want to watch TiVo from more than one TV, why pay $$$ for additional TiVo boxes, monthly subscription fees and cable cards when you already have everything you need! With TiVo street prices around $150 and monthly fees ranging from $10-15, do the math and the savings are clear. With the BOCS system, you can extend your DVR to every TV in the home for less than the cost of a single lifetime TiVo subscription. And the BOCS system works just the same for cable company DVRs too.
Easy Installation - Installing the BOCS system is as easy as 1-2-3. First, install the supercombiner at the main cable TV splitter. Second, connect the MediaHub to the TiVo and two other A/V devices. Three, set up the universal RF remote and you're done!
Control - With BOCS, you decide when and where to watch your favorite programming. Ever start a movie in the living room only to get tired half of the way through? Not a problem. Just pause the movie and finish it in the bedroom.
Simplified Operation - Turn every TV in the home into a fully featured entertainment center, without added complexity or unsightly home theatre equipment. The BOCS system is incredibly easy to use is because all you need is the universal RF remote control. Press the Red button on the remote and you're watching your TiVo, on any TV in the home.
No Restrictions - Any device with a standard composite output can be plugged into BOCS. The BOCS system is completely open with no proprietary restrictions.

BOCS | How Stuff Works
The BOCS system comprises three essential components, all working together in harmony to provide the very best experience in whole-home entertainment -- the MediaHub, the Supercombiner and the RF remote control.
The MediaHub is placed wherever your sources are located, whether in your living room or home theatre. You can connect up to three devices using the supplied cables to the MediaHub (Red, Green, and Blue). The MediaHub then creates three new TV channels and inserts them into the coaxial cable wiring in the wall. Each device also gets an infrared LED repeater which connects to the MediaHub so the device can be controlled remotely. Although channels can be placed anywhere, the defaults are channel 14 (Red), channel 98 (Green) and channel 96 (Blue).
The Supercombiner filters out the appropriate frequencies so the BOCS channels can be inserted and also takes care of redistributing the Red/Green/Blue channels to the rest of the home.
The key to the system, however, is the BOCS remote. The universal RF remote controls up to seven devices and has three new buttons - Red, Green and Blue. When you press one of the BOCS buttons (R/G/B), the remote changes your TV to the appropriate channel and takes control of the devices connected to the colored channel you chose. The BOCS remote communicates back to the MediaHub wirelessly at 900Mhz both to find out what channel to change your TV to and to send commands to the devices plugged into the MediaHub so you can pause, play, and otherwise control those devices.

BOCS | Your Flexible Friend
Different Ways to Use the BOCS System
I have my whole music library at my fingertips. I hooked up a Windows Media Center to the Red channel—now I can listen to all my music, watch all my movies, and browse all my pictures from ANY TV in my home. BOCS™ has saved me thousands of dollars by eliminating the need to install speakers, amps, and wires running all over my attic.
I play Desperate Housewives all over the house while I'm cleaning. House cleaning was boring until I got my BOCS™ system. Now I almost look forward to cleaning house. When I start cleaning, I turn on my TiVo which is on the Green channel. As I move from room to room, I flip on Green and continue watching my favorite programs while cleaning the whole house.
Date Night. I bought one of those TiVos with a built in DVD player, and connected it to BOCS™' Green Channel. While sipping wine after dinner, we start watching a movie on our plasma TV in the den. If we get tired, we can pause the movie, turn off the plasma TV and go upstairs to change into something more comfortable. When we turn on the bedroom TV, fire up the Green channel and push play, the movie is right there waiting for us where we left off. It's great to finish watching it while snuggling in bed.
My iPod follows me around. Griffin has this cool iPod dock which I hooked up to the Blue channel. Now when I get home, I dock my iPod to charge and can push the blue button for any TV in the house and have total access to all my tunes.
No more running to the basement to fire up a movie for the kids. BOCS™ is great! I was constantly running down the stairs to turn on Handy Manny, Disney playhouse, or whatever for my four year old. Now I can start up something for him, and all he has to do is go down, turn on the TV and push the Blue button. I'm in control; he gets entertainment, and I get just a little more peace.
Trust but Verify. We dedicated the BOCS™ Blue channel to the kids. When we let them watch TV, they always seem to watch it together. I can see our BOCS™ MediaHub from three rooms because it is sitting on a shelf in the den next to our home entertainment center. Any time anyone punches the Blue channel button anywhere in the house, I can see the Blue light flash on the MediaHub, and I know the kids are using some allotted TV time. I can even punch the blue button in the kitchen to check up on what they are watching. BOCS™ makes it easy for me to know what's going on, and that makes me a better parent.
DVD collections—safely stored in a jukebox, yet readily accessible to every TV from basement to bedroom. Our DVDs—especially the kids' movies—were out of their cases and scattered. Those that weren't lost were getting scratched and sticky from handling. The best investment I've made is the BOCS™ system and a used DVD jukebox I got for $50. Now all the DVDs are safely stored in the jukebox which I put on BOCS™' Green channel. The kids can watch their movies on the basement TV during the day, and at night my wife and I can watch our movies in the den, kitchen, or bedroom.
My BOCS™™ Slings. Ok, I'm a gadget nut. I thought Slingbox was the coolest—watching TV on my cellphone while at my daughter's ballet lesson. The BOCS™ MediaHub makes my Slingbox even better; I can watch any of my A/V devices—including my TiVo, my media center, and my iPod—anywhere in my home and . . . anywhere in the world!!!
I feel more secure at night. My husband travels a lot for work, and I'm a little bit nervous at night. We found this set of wireless security cameras at Costco for a little over $100, and they hooked right up to the Red channel. Now by pressing one button I can see, on any TV in the house, who is at the front door, if anyone is in the backyard; and I can even watch the kids playing on the trampoline. I'd rather the world were a safer place, but at least BOCS™ makes my corner of it safer.
Kiddie Cam 3000. We are on our third child, and technology does seem to be getting better and better. For the first two we had one of those baby monitors that crackled all night and sometimes picked up other kids in the neighborhood. We just bought a night vision camera with sound from X10.com and hooked it up to the Red channel. I can hit the red button in any room to see and hear my infant—even in the low light of a nightlight. Having the BOCS™ system is very reassuring—no more trying to figure out what we were hearing and no more trying to remember to take that baby monitor with me wherever I go in the house—my child is always a button push away.
Blue is for little boys . . . and little girls; Green is for adults. We used to have a TiVo DVR in the den and in the bedroom. After buying the BOCS™ MediaHub, we put them both in the office to get rid of clutter. We designated the "Blue TiVo" for the kids to record Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse, etc., and my wife and I record CSI, Desperate Housewives, etc. on the "Green TiVo." Doing that avoids scheduling conflicts.
No big stack of equipment under the plasma. I got an impressive 50" HD plasma to hang on the wall in the family room—only to have about 100 cords trailing from it to the cabinet underneath that held all my equipment . . . well, almost all of it fit, the rest was on top of the cabinet. The BOCS™ MediaHub let me move most of my stuff to the basement, so I only have one HDMI cord running to the Plasma now. Man, is my wife happy!
Bring internet movies to your TV. With all the ways to get video from the Internet today—Vongo, Cinemanow, and even freebies off of Netflix—I can pretty much download anything ever filmed. While watching my downloaded movies on my laptop is okay, they are really excellent on my big screen TV—and I'm much more comfortable in my recliner. I know I could connect my Windows Media Center to my TV directly, but it's a hassle to pull that big screen out to get to the connections in back of it, and I don't like that noisy PC fan running right under my TV. It's easier connecting the computer to the BOCS™ MediaHub which makes it possible to watch my movies on any TV. All I needed was a video card with composite ports. (There are many video card choices at any local computer store.)
