I've run composite video over RG6 quad sheild previously (currently
component (HDTV) over 3 RG6 Quad Sheild) over a distance of about 25
feet. I am using the F connector to RCA adapters you can pick up at
Radio Shack. I have had no picture quality issues as long as you have
good connections. I r

You can get decent audio performance (line level) out of ordinary cat 5
cable as long as you use a twisted pair. To be honest I'm not sure if
coax is actually better at audio. I remember browsing a web site that
suggested at those frequencies it was not, but without taking the time
to actually tr

If you can't solve the distance problems, your best bet for a
"appliance-type" frontend would be to build your own MicroATX (mATX)
system. The 'Antec Aria' case seems to be a popular choice.
Once you have a seperate frontend setup, it would be rather simple to
run 30' of CAT5 Ethernet cable betwe

I'm setting up a mythtv system in my basement. I've got a server
machine running 24/7 in a back room, about a 30' cable run distant from
