The SB2 has the advantage of being able to replace the stock antenna. So I wonder if it would be possible to attach a directional antenna outside of the building run inside to the SB2 over coax. I've never done anything like this, so maybe someone else could comment on whether or not it's feasib

well, if powerline doesn't do it for you, maybe get a linksys WRT54GL, install tomato on it, and put it into "remote access point" mode. Run cat5 from linksys to squeezebox. Put the antennas in a shed window and you should be good to go. (note - this is with the linksys in the shed) Alternately,
