Re: going back to the 80's That could theoretically work. Cable TV uses coaxial cable, which isn't directional, and as long as you had a strong enough transmitter to make up for any splitters, you wouldn't really have a problem. They used to use coax for networking, it's the same concept.
The main obstacle is that devices like that aren't usually meant to be used with splitters, and each split in the line degrades signal strength, so you may have to tweak the transmitter in the source device to get it to look good.
Radio nerds could make it work 
[EDIT: Issue #2 is that home TV equipment doesn't transmit multiple channels, but it'd be nice if IPTV device makers could sell one that simulcasts all available channels, like a tiny cable company.) |
