howdy folks,
just looknig a quick bit of advice.
currently my bt home hub (will replace with something fancier in the near future) is situated in my man cave upstairs.
i plan on running a 30mtr ethernet cable up into the roofspace and down the walls into the living room where i want to hook the tv, blu-ray player, sky box and htpc up to the net too.
is just as simple as getting a 5 port switch and some shorter cables to run from the switch to the individual appliances?
also would the htpc be better off on its own internet cable instead of through a switch?
and finally!
anyone spec me a nice plain -(preferably black in case i'm unable to hide it away)- switch for the job or the relevant necessary equipment?
cheers
