Re: Do I Really Need To Run Coax?

["Michael Hims" <michael@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure it is....I'm trying to find out why it's often suggested
to ru=
n co-ax.=20

Is it just for satellite signals or (some comments suggested) video...in
ca=
se of the latter why shoudn't I just run an extra length of Cat5?

On the point of a distributing satellite feeds...is there any point in
havi=
ng separate boxes over the house? Why not just contain them to node0 and
th=
en pipe the content into room TVs directly?

That surely makes sense as you can have much better HA control over it and

the pictures can be moved around the house much easier.

=20=20
Hi
Doesn't this all depend on whether you intend to=20
use terrestial signal / satellite signal as=20
source.? If "yes" then do you intend to decode remotely from the
TV?
If you intend to use TV tuner or Freeview PVR,=20
Freesat or Sky boxes adjacent to the TV in=20
question then the signal needs to reach the device.
If not, then coax to the set is redundant (except=20
for property resale to technophobes).
Or is it me that is missing something?
