[mythtv-users] OT: ATSC/QAM Encode to distribute HD over longer runs.

[Chris Ribe]

What sort of distances do you have in mind when you say "longer distances"?
While such a device would be useful for multicasting within a house, it will
definitely take specialized hardware, and ultimately it will be feature poor
as compared to a cheap set top box that can decode an HD stream off of an
ethernet connection.

An useful incarnation of such a device would have to include an encoder:
The practical value of a PC attached device that could do nothing more than
remux and retransmit saved ATSC streams would be extremely low.
