How Many TV's Can The Wireless Receiver Distribute To?
I'm maxed out on my LAN ports and want to temporarily add a wireless location. I'm thinking of using a AV receiver/transmitter connected to the composite outputs. I'm currently connected via HDMI to one TV. Just like to know if the receiver can hanle the load.
Thanks,
Jon

Yes, I believe it is strongly recommended to not mix computers and TV on the same switch. Here is a switch that I saw in posts recommending it - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006RVPW/ref=asc_df_B00006RVPW1644937?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B00006RVPW

You can add ports with a switch.
A wireless receiver can handle multiple connections, just like a wired receuver. To connect an AV with a TV you have two choices. HDMi through the AV to the TV, using the AV to select source. Or, HDMI to the TV & sound multipled to the AV via optical or the audio jacks.
Component would be used to feed a second TV from one STB. This has been done in the past. The other day I was setting up two TVs HDMI/composite & when the HDMI was not live, the component was blocked - no signal.

Re: Switch to expand ports...
Hmm, I currently have two of the LAN ports devoted to TV's. I take it then I could put all TV's on the switch?
Thanks,

Thanks... I didn't know if 1 Gigabits Per Second was necessary or not.
