In some instances cable networks use RF over Glass (RFoG), an analog RF fiber to the premise technology. The RFoG Optical Network Termination (ONT) converts the optical RF to an electrical RF signal over coax permitting the use of traditional cable QAM based CPE. Cable systems make use of both DVR and set-top boxes that receive broadcast signals and use MoCA technology to link them together for a whole home DVR solution. Satellite networks terminate in Out Door Units (ODU) satellite dishes. Low Noise Block down-converters shift the satellite signals to a frequency band that can be switched by a Multiswitch unit and distributed via coax cables to the various satellite CPE. Satellite systems make use of both DVR and non-DVR set-tops and use both MoCA and 802.11 Wi-Fi for distribution in the home for a whole home DVR solution. The satellite MVPDs also have client software available in some LG, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba TVs that allow them to access services through their home network either using RVU or Virtual Joey technology.
