[linux-help] Re: Digital TV converter box

["David Carmichael" <dec2955@xxxxxxxxx>]

While kind of off topic...
Question:
Does anybody know of a fair priced "Cable Puller" to pull "pairs" of
Cat-5 cables and install marked color coded wall jacks?
The reason for the question:
In the past I have used "UHF Converters" to change the video/audio
output of my DirecTV/DVD/VCR's and created a multi channel home "CABLE
LIKE" system.
There are now "HDMI/HIGH-DEFINITION COMPONENT VIDEO, DIGITAL" 'BAUM's
that allow for full 1080p to be trasnmited via a pair of Cat-5 cables.
If you would like to see the one brand of the devices that I am
looking at here is a link for the CE-Labs brand receiver:
http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/ceicat5rx.html and it would be matched up
with a like transmiter.. there are SVideo which would do 720p for
about a third of the price....

I have been asked why not just get another HD box... the service/lease
fees in less than a year would pay for the shaired system... also it
seems if it is a recorded program it is "on the box in the other
room"...

If you know of a better, lower cost way to transmit signals then
please make your suggestion... there are rumored wireless devices but
the cost currently is about $1000,00 for each transmiter.
