Streaming MPEG2

[Ray]

Hi All,
Anyone doing some work on streaming MPEG2 files from a HTPC to a TV over Cat 5 or ethernet?? I want to create a single digital jukebox containing all my MP3's and DVD/movies. Streaming audio is no problem but what about video??
Thanks!!

not sure if your looking for something to do this, or someone that has actually done it. I know there are devices that can do this. I'm not recommending you buy this to do it, just telling you they exist...and I have no experience what so ever with them.

If your tv can handle vga or dvi, then built your self a vga to cat 5 wire. I run my hole house this way. up to 20 meters over cat 5.

Colour dosent matter as long as nr 1 and 6 are the ones that are twisted toghter, same goes for nr2 and 7, and 3 and 8
I have splitt the shiled and solderd one bit to nr 10 and one on the metal shield. Perfect result!
Even works over patchboxes, i use one of these:
