If I have a secondary phone socket in my TV area, can I connect a media PC to my main PC through that phone socket, or so I still need to run a cable to the router plugged into the master socket?

IF I still need to connect to the router then I will need to have a hole cut out on the side of the media units I'm waiting for in August.

I dont envision 4K streamed gaming to work great on a wireless setup, or if it does then let me know.

From what I understand, my download rate of just 55mb doesnt matter for streaming over a LAN setup, the two computers will connect over whatever speed my router supports, which happens to be Vodafone's gigabit capable one.

Just need to confirm whether or not I will a pass through for an ethernet cable as the media PC will be hidden inside the fitted media units (lowest power CPU and GPU thing, will get some vents on top of the cabinet too).
 
Thanks, I also asked on Steam forums and figured it out, basically need a cable from each PC to the router, then log into the same steam account on both and the rest is built into steam.

For 4K couch gaming I basically mean stuff like cuphead or sonic.

For anything demanding I would switch it down to 1080p, and also I don't think my current 1080 Ti can do DLSS so thats another huge block.

Will probably wait another year before buying a T.V.
 
It will be wired but Im getting conflicting info on whether 4k streaming is still feasible.

I already have an ethernet cable running up my stairs to my main PC, another to the lounge is no issue.

4k streaming over ethernet is feasible. What gpu are you running?

Edit: Why not use a nvidia shield over a media pc? What is the media pc's intended use?

Still using a 1080 Ti.

I already have a second PC, using that at least initially means I don't need to spend on other things. Its initial use was as a test bench / backup for when anything went wrong with my main PC, and I was planning on using it as a lounge PC for many years already.
