The optimal arrangement is to put a frontend machine near each monitor and send the video out from the central location over the network. Without a frontend machine, you can send your video over distance by terminating your RG-6 coax with RCA connectors and sending a composite video signal, or for a truly crappy viewing expoerience, you could get an RF modulator to feed your video signal into.
<br><br>The question you really need to be asking yourself, though , is how am I going to remotely control the frontend running the central closet?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/12/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Hello,<br><br>I have a question for anyone using a central wiring closet (CWC, home<br>run or Node 0 arrangement) along with a MythTV setup.<br><br>My current diagram has MythTV in a rack in the CWC. It is connected to<br>
the cable box and also an antenna. My question is this: in a CWC<br>arrangement what is the best way to send the video signal from the<br>MythTV box to the TV? Do some video cards have coax outputs? Mine<br>doesn't. It has a DVI out, but running a DVI cable to the TV seems
<br>unfeasible (it's around 40 feet to the TV from the CWC). I'd like to be<br>able to use the MythTV feed in any room that has a video (coax) jack.<br>What are people using in this arrangement? Is this even an optimal
<br>arrangement?<br><br>Thanks. I also apologize if my question isn't entirely clear. I'm<br>still reading about a lot of this and I don't know that I have a clear<br>grasp of all the jargon yet.<br><br>--<br>
