Re: Why so wishy washey?
said by cypherstream  :Well if you move the TV, wouldn't you need to move the outlet anyway? How else would you get live cable TV without a cable outlet? Hence the reason the parent poster wants to use Ethernet. It has so many mediums it can travel over it makes it fairly easy to get any where.

| Sure you could network recorded DVR content that way, but the client cable box in the bedroom or whatever would also need to be connected to the coax to pull one of the oob data addressing channels (our area uses 104.2 MHz). Without this connection the set top box will not download the guide or turn on features such as DVR or MRDVR.
What your looking for is something more like Slingbox. Comcast is trying to implement this using existing cable boxes with little to no modification (therefore costs less). Plus I'm sure they don't mind sending a tech out to relocate an outlet, they do charge $$ for it after all. |

It's basically iptv  which can carry over anything that can carry an electrical charge really.
