Once you have the channels, the next step is to pick up a few old RF modulators and run your own cable TV network at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7m7OW2xrJE

This is awesome! This is what I'd like to do at home albeit with DVB-T.

I've seen a lot of clabretro's videos and am especially hooked on the token ring series. I don't know why since that was just outside of me starting to work on networking (we ran a 10-base-2 at home since my dad worked in networking) but he's so calm and a good story teller. Highly recommended channel!

I recently bought an HDMI Transmitter and as my laptop's HDMI port doesn't output sound. I've rigged a Bluetooth RX/TX dongle plugged in to the headphone-out port which made me giddy in nerd. It's voodoo.

Being able to stream from my laptop to my TV in 1080p without any additional cables and using emulators for games is kind of dark magic.

I need to purchase a usb DAC and better quality BT streaming devices, creative a web-ui to finish the setup. But that was cool, would love to do something when I upgrade from an apartment especially with the 3x cable monitors.

Is latency noticable for games or NBD?

Not that I have noticed. Everything has been ace.

There are more modern versions of such things that can do ATSC / QAM for full HD. I picked one up that takes multiple HDMI inputs with the idea of transmitting a couple outdoor cameras to our TVs but got sidetracked with the realization that none of the coax in my home is convenient to any of our TVs.
