[mythtv-users] Wireless Keyboard suggestion needed

I would I do coax to each set?  Are you suggesting use a converter to
convert the svideo/RCA to coax?  

If you have seen my other posts, I have been unable to get my GeForce2 video
out to work.  I have spent 2 weeks trying to get it to work, and have had no
luck.  The video card is a Jaton GeForce2, I loaded the nvidia drivers and
nvtv... and it does not work.  I can not get the TV to display anything.  So
my next solution is to buy a VGA to NTSA converter.  I have not found a
converter that has coax as an output, have you?

That seems like a pretty expensive solution.  Coax to each set is a LOT
cheaper :)

As for a remote, an RF remote should work.  You could get one of those
remotes from X10.com, get the wall modules in each room to pick up the
signals (depending on the size of your place), and do it that way.  I was
doing that, but the wall modules had an unacceptable delay for me...but I
was using the older remote, and the driver I was using might not have been
up to the task.

X10 (and other vendors?) sell things called "IR extenders", which (I
presume) take IR input from a (any?) remote and transmit it to where you
need it.  That might be an option as well, if you have an IR remote you
want to use.

Report back to the list.  I don't doubt other people are trying to do this
as well.  I'm happy with myth on one TV right now, but in the future might
want to extend it to other sets.
