Slashdot Mirror


Best Options for a Home Entertainment Network?

Vultan asks: "Now that I'm finally a proud homeowner, I'm looking to integrate my video, audio, and computer hardware. Specifically, I'd like to be able to listen to Internet radio throughout the house (or at least through my main stereo unit), and transmit video from my computer to my home theater in a separate room. I've done my share of googling, and I'm drowning in options. Wired vs. wireless, RG6 vs. CAT5e, digital vs. analog, line level vs. speaker level (for audio), etc. What kinds of technology do Slashdot readers use or recommend?"

    I was so close to the whole first post, too bad I had to search for my password.

    Anyways I would say wire up the place with Cat5e or use 80211g if you don't want to cut your walls apart.
