I thought I had sent my configuration to the mailing list earlier but I can't find it in the archives. So here is a summary. I run my svideo and audio signals over 10-BaseT. At each end I have a converter box I bought from svideo.com. It has svideo & (for audio) RCA connectors. I believe the part number is 500017. For the infrared remote control I just used some old coax I had laying around and put connectors from Radio Shack on each end. The result is no noise at all from Myth system in the TV room. I have no problem at all with the TV quality but perhaps I'm not the most discriminating user. Good luck, Vince _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
