It's very clever to move through an ANALOG step (VGA) and re-digitize for easy distribution! From the sound of it, the only barrier to use as a general HD Analog --> QAM modulator is the audio, drat! Hmm, maybe I should be considering a Windows Media Center PC instead of an HD TiVo. Has anyone tried ZeeVee w/WinMCE?

If coax carries all of my digital channels to my house then why couldn't it send one from my Tivo to my plasma rather than hdmi? I can make my own custom lengths and the connector will not fall out of the back of the tv. Same argument for composite, s-video, component, Toslink, XLR... I know I am oversimplifying things but it was a fun thought process. :-) Just last week I was wondering why more things couldn’t use coax as an interconnect.

Makes you wonder if you couldn't use a Audio Authority componet to VGA Converter (model no. 9A65) to solve that problem, to bad there is still the audio problem... But honestly i'd be happy with just stereo audio in any room I would be using this for. This is great news and hopefully a starting point to what it really needs to be, and expand on the vga input.
