<div>This is exactly idea that i had. The wireless router will also come in handy when i need to browse from my phone anywhere in the house.!</div> <div> </div> <div>On a side note, im thinking of getting a 37inch tv. Will a cat5 cable be able to handle a high enough resolution whilst streaming?<br><br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/7 Rob Beard <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rob@esdelle.co.uk">rob@esdelle.co.uk</a>></span><br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div> <div></div> <div class="h5">javadayaz wrote:<br>> Hi,<br>><br>> Some of you may remember my post about streaming content from a ubuntu<br>> pc to a media centre/xbox over an eternet wire a couple of months ago!<br>> All of this in my new house<br> ><br>> Well heres a quick update.<br>><br>> I was thinking of how best to get this done when it occurred to me<br>> that when i get the virgin man to drill a whole to install the virgin<br>> services (the internet upstairs, the tv box downstairs) the most<br> > logical solution is that i ask him very nicely to drill another two<br>> holes and at the same time run an ethernet wire through those.

They should supply a wireless router (or at least they did<br>for me) which you will plug the cable modem into, then you you'll have<br>about 4 ports free, one can be used by your PC and the other can be used<br> by the XBOX/media device. You can leave it connected, there is no need<br>to mess around plugging it in and unplugging it.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Rob<br></font> <div> <div></div> <div class="h5"><br><br><br>--<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br><a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a><br> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"> <div></div><br>-- <br>Regards<br><br>Javad<br>
