  If the AV amp was receiving simple stereo, shouldn't it be sending a low-frequency component to the subwoofer anyway, extracted from the stereo?

  I was aware of that, otherwise my config diagrams above would have been far more complex! Even the HDR-FOX auto-detects, so it's not new technology. So (jokes about milli-bits notwithstanding), running their AV over "economiser" shouldn't be an issue, if you can smuggle a switch into their...

  Saves swapping cables around if you only have one Ethernet outlet available and only one device powered up at a time. Not completely (but almost) pointless. Indeed. I was talking about the "economiser"-type splitters I've used/seen, which had no information and I had to bleep out to verify...

  I like those. The ones I've seen before had no indication of the internal connectivity. ...but fitting a switch close to the (always on) router might be easier to get away with than having it near the AV.

  TLDR, I might have missed some important detail, but if the problem is only how to connect TWO items to wired Ethernet over ONE cable, a PASSIVE SPLITTER offers (potentially) an ideal solution. Assuming you don't need gigabit Ethernet (or PoE come to that, ie all 8 wires), it works by...

  Not a cut-out as such (except the regulators are internally protected), but you would expect it to comply with USB2 standards and typical implementation which uses resistive current limiting.

  I understand there are online brokers who will take them at somewhat less than face value, although I'm not sure about minimum quantities. You could donate them to your preferred charity.
