It's actually a 2U rack shelf kindly donated to the Museum. It will be the bottom shelf and I'll build 2 shelves above it. I had some scrap laminate flooring which seems like a good shelf material. Not too thick, easy to work and feels rigid over that length. The excess space to the side of each Freeview box will be ideal for storing the remote controls.
The 2 photos show different stages of the TV installation rebuild. Originally all the kit was housed in the house, in the analogue standards converter cabinet. Since Gerry's death last year there's been a lot of re-organisation. The analogue converter (CO6/501) has now gone to another museum where I hope it will be displayed one day. Part of the refit has been moving the TV head end to the sheds. The first pass needed to be done in a hurry and is basically a pile of kit. The current version is fitted in a wooden rack cabinet. This started life as a custom built unit for the BBC. I cut it down in all 3 dimensions to make it fit the available space.
You can see the current and horrible Freeview box assembly in both photos.
