YMMV. Also, keep in mind that you'll probably need to mess with the MIH time values for class TAPE devices to compensate for the additional delay. You really, really want dedicated bandwidth for this if its in any way possible. Variable delays tend to make channel extenders cranky. Once we got that worked out and the proper expectations set and managed, it's a pretty slick setup.
