multiple users - different channels...is this possible?

I want to run my BTV server and a BTV link client in my computer room and send the output from each onto different channels to all the TV's in the house.

As of now, cable TV comes into my computer room, into the BTV server and its output piped through the house using existing cable wiring (vi an RF Modulator) I use an rf (ati) remote so I can walk into any room, turn on the tv and use the same remote. Worked great..... Well, I just got married and the wife would like to able to control the TV's as well, maybe even watch a different channel or show at the same time as me.

I think running BTV link on another PC with its own remote would be the solution but then I'd need to set up a PC outside the computer room and that's not an option (plus she (or me) would be limited to just that one TV).

The ideal solution, if it exists, is some kind of modulator that would allow me to plug in 2 inputs (BTV server and BTV Link) and allow me to output (via standard cable) to 2 separate channels on any TV connected to the house cable. This way the wife could have her own RF remote and walk into any room in the house and turn on channel, say 98, and watch her BTV client, and I could do the same by turning on channel 99.

Anyone out there ever heard of such a thing?

Thanks much

Sure. 1, 2, 3 or 4 channels. Here's an example. Could be cheaper elsewhere -- just found this through a google search.
