N/A 3/14/2013 9:42:55 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Wow, it works!! Pros: I bought this sort of on a whim, as I needed to get cable TV from one part of this building to another without running additional coax. I truly didn't expect it to work so well, but wow, it's awesome! Cons: Takes a little bit of work to get it set up. You're sort of tied to using a computer with Windows Media Center or XBMC to use it. Not a big deal to me though -- that was my intent all along anyways. There may be other ways I don't know about yet. Other Thoughts: I haven't used this for that long -- just got it set up yesterday, and I really didn't expect it to work so well. Did exactly what I needed it to do, and solves a big, longstanding problem for me. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
