This was implemented as a test in [[Vanbrugh Upgrade|Vanbrugh]] by Owain Davies, feeding the three TVs there, and worked very well. The problem of getting cables run from the vent rooms to the TVs was significant however, as it required cables to be run above ceilings and so on. Given that this would be needed for almost all the colleges, [[Rob Sprowson]] opted to do the whole job, and run new cable from LTC to the TV locations. The receivers could then be installed near the TVs, and the contribution cables (which anyway did not run to Langwith or Derwent) left alone. This was implemented using 3-pair screened cable, providing for stereo audio and balanced video to all the available or proposed TV positions. | This was implemented as a test in [[Vanbrugh Upgrade|Vanbrugh]] by Owain Davies, feeding the three TVs there, and worked very well.

Today the YSTV broadcast network consists basically of the 1998 network minus sections lost to new building works, with some new links installed and a few of the TVs relocated. Links into some of the UHF distribution systems within buildings have been added. Despite the availability of content online it remains a valuable means of raising the society's profile on campus and generating interest in our output. | |||
