Bot of an odd Virgin cable question

[BruceLee]

Hi,

I'm building a NAS (QNAP TS-209) this week and want to re-jig the network setup so that it and the PS3 in the lounge can be connected to it via cable.

At present (I live in a 3 storey townhouse) the cable internet connection is situated in the 1st floor in a bedroom connected to a wifi router.

We are getting rid of the virgin tv and phone line this month and solely having the cable internet, now my real question is does the tv cable connection carry the same data as the internet or are they seperate installs, eg, if I was to get the modem re-installed downstairs would they just use that connection? If so I can just get the engineer to swap them over I imagine.

It would be much better for streaming HD content if the PS3 and the NAS were directly connected via CAT5 to the router to avoid lag issues etc over wifi (11g) but I dont want to install the NAS in the bedroom as its not my room and it would mean streaming over wifi.

Thanks in advance

thanks for the quick reply, I should have just googled a bit more, I think I will probably just move it myself as you suggest, I am guessing it just needs a spanner (apart from me!) to do it? I'll give it a go tomorrow as I am at work now, which I guess is why I posted as I couldnt access the socket.

Thanks

Make sure to do the joints back up tightly as if they are not tight you can get interference I'm told!

thanks will do! Hopefully my plans work out and this all goes well!

Finger-tight is plenty for those connections, overdo it and you'll rip them apart. They're data connections, not plumbing.
