    CATV coax for digital audio

    Digital audio is a very hard signal to corrupt or degrade. It is a PCM coded digital waveform, and can handle upto 50% LOSS before it has any effect on the quality of the sound. As long as you are using a 75 ohm cable with some type of shielding, you should not have a problem. The only time to...

    Cable feed and splitter

    The dB ratings are important loss can be calculated from db as 10^((db)/20) -3db is .707 (about 30% loss) -11db is .28 (about 72% loss) Go for the amplified splitters, they are better than -3dB.

    Component to Coxial to Component?

    Do you happen to have any cat5 cable already installed? Maybe for phone or computer that you could hijack? You can run HD component over cat5 with the right adapters.

    Digital coaxial output to analog input ???

    Nope, can't be done easily. The digital coax output is a PCM coded digital signal, where the analog input is expecting line level baseband audio. You need to feed it into a receiver first to decode the digital audio

    component switching bandwith

    This isn't necessarily true. It all depends on what type of bandwidth numbers manufactures are quoting. Typically it is the -3dB bandwidth, which is the point at which you have lost roughly 1/3 of the signal content at that frequency. Since this says NOTHING about at what frequency the signal...

    Component switch box question

    We did an in depth engineering review on the Pelican system selector pro. In brief, it is not up to full quality HD. You can see the review on our site under "video info" video-storm(dot)com. (I don't have 15 posts, so no links) BTW we also sell a very good component switch, but...
