1. Distributing Humax Output by UHF
  
  There are no amplifiers in the system, not even a masthead amp. When I've got it up and running, I might try a resistive passive network to inject the antenna signal into the feed, which will introduce a 3db loss of course. Just thought tonight, how long before we do this sort of stuff over...

  Arriving tomorrow and the coax is in situ. I did look at the newer one, but I've already got a couple of HDMI splitters. I'll try again, but your heads up is encouraging.

  About 50% of the time my wife and I watch the same program in different locations and yell back and forth to each other, so We'd be out of sync with our viewing. The other 50% I watch my HDR T2 and she watches hers. Although the T2's and the other Humax stuff see the media servers and PC's on...

  OK, I see. I'd be interested to know how the signal is sent along the cable. I wonder if there are there four parallel streams? I'll have the kit sometime today so I better do some Googling. in the morning.

  I thought it was unlikely. I'll run out about 15 meters of cat5, put a couple of plugs on and see how it performs before routing it through the house. I have hears mention that they can be a bit "glitchy".

  I've ordered a video over CAT5 Tx & Rx system, £35 from Amazon. I don't suppose these will work through a router and a switch, but I'll find out when I get it and post an update.

  I do only use it for recorded stuff, and the client TV is almost always used as a monitor attached to a mini PC (like it is now). So worth considering.

  HDMI over Cat5-8-7 from £32.00. I've got a couple of HDMI splitters and at that price I might give it a go.

  Thanks again. Its a bit far for using HDMI. Too many holes in walls and bits of trunking which are too small for the HDMI connectors and although I could I don't fancy cutting soldering and heat shrinking a joint with seventeen conductors.

  It is an analogue modulator. I assume the input will still be SCART? I must do something about it.

  I view lots of content using a UHF modulator and sent via a coax cable to my workshop. The loss of video quality on a large screen, and more so the audio, is quite noticeable. Is the answer video over Ethernet or can you suggest any other solutions. I've disconnected the UHF IN feed, as it was...
