Re: Again singing praises of the KAT5s...

[campbell@xxxxxxx]

Keith,

I am very interested in a set of KAT 5 but after spending #100 in
Homebase the other day i must tread even more lightly. I would be
gratefrul if you could advise on this :

I have cat 5 from dvd to patchpanel which is the distribuited to a
number of circuits (5 at present). If I connect the receiver to one
end leaving the other still linked to tv's

1 will the receiver work
2 will any signal be viewable on the other tv's

I appreciate the solution would be multiple recievers, but that will
take a lot more tlc for swmbo


thanks
Campbell
