Welcome to the World of Whole-Home Entertainment Choices

The BOCS Xtender will allow you and your family to Xtend the entertainment options from your main system to all the TVs in your home. This sounds like a simple proposition, but until now you could only do this by adding redundant equipment or have a very expensive and complicated audio/video distribution system installed in your home.

Now You Can…

ƒReduce the number of boxes in your home – instead of a full stack under each TV, one stack supplies the entire home

ƒWatch any TiVo DVR from any TV

ƒPause a program in one room, continue watching in another

ƒPlay a DVD on all the TVs in the house simultaneously

ƒHook up an iPod for whole-home music

ƒSee what your kids are watching in the basement

ƒContinue to view your movies or programs uninterrupted even if you need to change locations in your home

ƒAnd much, much, more...

Without…

ƒPurchasing additional Cable/Satellite Boxes

ƒPurchasing additional DVRs

ƒPurchasing additional DVD Players

ƒPurchasing costly and complicated universal remote control systems - all you have to remember is RED – GREEN – BLUE
