hi, I'm designing the networking layout for a new house. Most of the PC's around the house will use a wireless access point. But for digital video applications, like my own TiVo-like server for movies etc wireless doesn't have the bandwidth. I figure I have 2 options for the future:
A. assume a centralized video server with multiple video outputs (to coax) that feed into each TV. Control it from any PC with browser (e.g. select a video to watch)
or B. assume a centralized video FILE server, but a local box connected to the TV that generates the video for that TV.
Do you think A is practical (e.g. having multiple video outputs from one server), what if more than one video is playing at the same time? etc,
or will tv's in the future accept ethernet connections anyway (have a pc built-in) so there should be an ethernet jack nearby
