    Hi & thanks in advance,

    Basically I've got my place wired with Cat5E back to patch panel & a 24port Zyxel switch, Ive got a pc + television with scart,co-ax,rgb in connections on it & 2 data sockets next to it, in my bedroom, and Ive sky+ box downstairs next to a data outlet, Is there anyway I can convert the Co-Ax or scart out of the sky+ to CAT5 send it over my Lan to the outlet upstairs and convert it back to show on my television?

    Does Anyone know if this is even possible or am I asking to much here?

    Thanks?

    You could use video baluns. They convert coax to cat5e and then back again. Probably cost about 30 euro for a cheap pair.

    I use a wireless unit which also transmits the remote signal back to the Sky box for channel changing etc.

    'video sender' or something like that, it was called.

    Heya,

    Anywhere online really or Maplin might have em. If you have no joy PM me and Ill get you a pair, as I say think they cost around 30 euro all in. Though you may need one or two more connectors, no big deal though...
