I am new on the forums and have need of help. I am just moving to the Bettendorf Iowa area and Mediacom is the only choice for tv and internet other than OTA for my rental house. I know that my job here will only be for about 20 months so my family is living in a two story rental house for that reason.
I will be hooking up a computer on the first floor and a second computer in the game room in the basement. I intend to co-locate an lcd hdtv television close to each of those computers. Ideally, I would like to connect cable internet to the house on the first floor and then run that to the one computer through a router and then to the basement computer via a powerline connection.
Due to the high costs/ reliability of Mediacoms cable tv, I would like to use my internet connection to stream Hulu or Netflix thru the computers to the 2 tv's. Also, I would like to connect the tv's to OTA and possibly the stations that are available thru PlayOn's software.
I am looking for information on the way that would best set this network up. Thanks!
