    How can I get live TV from cable box to my network

    Learned today that with my comcast business class internet I get access to xfinitytv.com so that is wonderful I may not even need an antenna but I think I will have to go ahead and build a HTPC. Thanks much Boyd

    How can I get live TV from cable box to my network

    I am going to have the HDMI cable going to the TV and not use the tuner. So will I get Dolby Digital out like that? If not then I will have to upgrade my receiver in the living room to one that has HDMI in and then I should be able to get DD Yes I meant a receiver not an amp. Thanks Boyd

    How can I get live TV from cable box to my network

    Duh I cant believe this just dawned on me. Everything goes in to the amp just like now comes out hits splitter and there you are. That even solves stream issue. Just stream from a device and go into the amp. Thanks again Boyd Batchelor

    How can I get live TV from cable box to my network

    BTW I would not mind getting rid of cable all together if I could stream everything the way I want and if the wife is happy with it [she is reasonable ] and I figure I could spend maybe a grand on the whole thing but by pieceing it together might could spend more if I have to. Thanks Boyd Batchelor
