While kind of off topic... Question: Does anybody know of a fair priced "Cable Puller" to pull "pairs" of Cat-5 cables and install marked color coded wall jacks? The reason for the question: In the past I have used "UHF Converters" to change the video/audio output of my DirecTV/DVD/VCR's and created a multi channel home "CABLE LIKE" system. There are now "HDMI/HIGH-DEFINITION COMPONENT VIDEO, DIGITAL" 'BAUM's that allow for full 1080p to be trasnmited via a pair of Cat-5 cables. If you would like to see the one brand of the devices that I am looking at here is a link for the CE-Labs brand receiver: http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/ceicat5rx.html and it would be matched up with a like transmiter.. there are SVideo which would do 720p for about a third of the price.... I have been asked why not just get another HD box... the service/lease fees in less than a year would pay for the shaired system... also it seems if it is a recorded program it is "on the box in the other room"... If you know of a better, lower cost way to transmit signals then please make your suggestion... there are rumored wireless devices but the cost currently is about $1000,00 for each transmiter. --David -- This is the [email protected] list.
