Wasn't coax used with BNC connectors for ethernet?

Sure, if you want 2MB/sec transmission rates...

All my networking cabling is done with coat hangers. The cables don't make no stinkin' difference!

Running, ducking for cover.....

Just google wireless bridge.

Unfortunately, there's no way to repurpose your coax. There's not enough signal pairs to use it for something else. From all my A/V reconfiguring, I've learned that if you run cable, have at least 2 or 3 extra runs of CAT5/6. Those usually can be converted (w/ some cost) to do something else using special baluns like these from muxlab.

If you want to have some kind of video distribution and can't use coax, I'd start looking at slingbox/slingcatcher or maybe even AppleTV. I use an AppleTV on a cheap LCD for the kids. It's not live TV but 2 and 5 year olds can watch the same show 500 times in a row so they don't need live TV.

Thank you for coming up with the words that I couldn't think of...
