Adding channels

[lilouisianagal]

I bought the ShowTime Pro 16 Channel Starter Package back in Dec/Jan to play around with but I want to add to it so I have 32 channels. What do I add to it to do that? And will it go on sale?? What happened to the "Summer" [september] sale?

Thanks!

Simple answer is, you buy another controller and a cat 5 cable, and the second part, and it never gets old...Its October..the sale is over!:):) Might be some delay in getting controllers directly from LOR, you may consider one of the partners from LOR for inventory purposes. Good luck friend!

Thanks. How do I know which controller is the same? Why is there such an issue with controllers [this year]?

If you are using your computer or a mini director, the standard Showtime PC CTB16 series is sufficient. Typical price is 249. If you want to run it directly from the controller, then the Showtime PRO is needed. I have 10 controllers all of the PC CTB16 persuasion....

My understanding is they had some issues with the suppliers, and since it comes, or mostly comes from overseas, very difficult to get accurate timelines. Sounds like they are going to go to more manufacturers to help alleviate that in the future.
