I am planning on setting up Myth and want both my frontend and backend
to be about 100-120 feet (cable distance) away from my satellite
receiver, TV, and A/V receiver. Currently I have a Dish301 (S-video +
RCA audio out), but I would consider upgrading to another Dish receiver.
Since it's Dish, it sounds like I have to use an IR blaster to control
the Dish receiver. So that means I would have the following signals
carried over the long haul:
First, from the viewing/listening area (Dish receiver is located here
for WAF):
- Dish video out -> backend capture card video in
- Dish audio out -> backend capture card audio in
- remote IR receiver -> backend IR in (on capture card? on serial or USB
port?)
Now from the backend:
- backend video out -> TV video in
- backend audio out -> A/V receiver audio in
- backend remote out (serial port?) -> IR transmitter with LED taped to
DISH receiver IR input.
Any ideas on the best way to carry these signals (i.e. best quality)?
Don't rule out lossles hardware analog<-->digital converters. Also, I
haven't bought the capture card yet, so that can be chosen to suit the
long haul requirements.
Oh, my TV has two S-video INs and two component INs (1080i, 480p,
480i). One of these is taken by my DVD player.
My A/V receiver has an optical digital audio IN (taken by my DVD player)
and a coaxial digital audio IN.
