Many have us have not-so-old houses but are stuck with RG-59 wiring. The result is that we can not wire our dishes into the existing house wiring and have the satellite receiver next to the tv. My current solution is to have the dish feed the receiver and the receiver output going into the house wiring. An effective solution when combined with an IR transmitter / receiver, but at degraded quality.
One solution would be to have a reciever that would output TCPIP over Ethernet and a decoder for the other end. Then all recievers could go in the head-end when combined with remotes signalling the decoder over IP. Or we could easily implement a PC based show recording scheme using the ethernet connection.
When combined with wireless ethernet, this solution becomes even more convenient.
Any reason this would not work? Anybody listening?
