Yet another reason hits the stores in the UK for a properly installed home automation system.

Youview the long awaited TV content amalgamation platform delivering the likes of BBC, Iplayer, ITV, Channel 4, Five and Sky is hitting the shops at £299.00 not a small price and even more if you want to use the services in multiple rooms as you would have to purchase multiple boxes and cope with the required bandwidth.

Imagine however centralising this box and being able to access it from every set in the home, that is the true value of home automation. Reducing the cost and number of sources and delivering them to TV’s that don’t have to be state of the art. You could be watching the same program at the same time in both the lounge and kitchen.

That smarthome now gets closer and closer with sources like youview delivered to all rooms in a sensible home automation system.

The only question is how much to get rid of the adverts..
