Why not simply plug an ethernet cable from the RJ45 jack on the Replaytv box into either the Actiontec home router network, or the Linux firewall/router?
If I read between the lines in your post, it would seem that you want to split the coax currently going to the replaytv box an then run one output to the replaytv box and the other output into the spare Actiontec (instead of a NIM) for the ethernet connection. Yes, you can use the Actiontec as a big-ass NIM to get ethernet to the replaytv box assuming it is not convenient to use a direct ethernet connection.
I see a couple of problems with this scenario. You don't mention if the replaytv box is connected to a STB. Without a STB, you will only get channels 1-49 and VZ may require an STB in the future even for those channels. Also no VOD or VZ guide data to the TV.
I am also assuming we are only talking about SD and not HD. I don't believe that replaytv has an HD box yet. The HD STB does not support coax out (to the replaytv) although you could use component cables. |
