[mythtv-users] Alternative to separate front-end

[James Pifer]

Not sure if money is an issue, but look at Leapfrog. Lets you transmit
A/V plus IR over telephone lines. Works very well. I have the main
receiver in my home theater and two remote receivers in other rooms. 

Do a google search for "leapfrog home network". I know www.smarthome.com
has them, but you can find them cheaper than there.
