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. <br>
<br>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. <br>
