But Its a start . If and thats sadly a big if they combine it with material gathering and exploring , people will have something to work for and to do . It would be a bit minecraftish but still a good adition to the game it will force players to go around and search for material explore solar systems and planets . <| sep |> Hi . I help run cable systems for multipledwelling units that is , places like hotel cable systems , apartment complexes , etc . This can totally be done . Literally what feeds some of these kinds of small headend systems is a rack of DirecTV or Dish Network receivers . I can remote into our sites across the country and control each individual receiver as if I was in front of it . I use another device typically a Slingbox to check what the end users see , as well as to make adjustments to the channel . The receivers then go into RF modulators , combiners , and eventually , to the single coax that gets fed to the rest of the building . Provided our receivers were programmed for it , I could hypotheretically tune a receiver to a PPV or porn channel , no problem . Our cards typically don ' t get that sort of stuff activated , so the closest I could get is putting Cinemax on the religious channels . DirecTV and Dish now have newer , more integrated hardware like the Dish Smartbox that would make it as easy as logging into a webpage and changing the channel that gets output on our cable system .
