the main point is I still get 100 percent signal and quality on 5 of the 6 channels, and 98% quality on one. My HDHomeRun to EyeTV install is attic antenna->20 foot run of Rg59->HD HomeRun->Cat5 patch cable->wall mount keystone jack->Cat5 run->patch panel->Cat5 patch cable->GigSwitch->Cat5 patch cable->AirPortExtreme->Cat5 patch cable->GigSwitch->Cat5 patch cable->patch panel->Cat5 run->wall mount keystone jack->Cat5 patch cable->100BASE-T->G4 Mini. Has anyone else come across this problem? Any thoughts you may have on this are welcome and appreciated. While I'm not ready to give up yet, its looking like WMC may have been the better way to go. This was all part of my case for cutting the cable. I decided against building my own HTPC and went Mac figuring it would be easier to navigate for the rest of the family and less prone to crashing. This test proved to me the hardware works. Looks great but why do I get all the channels in WMC but not EyeTV3. I set it up to a Niagara area zip code and get all the channels and guide info. I swore I would not connect anything other than the internet to my dedicated photography computer (Win7) but the Media Centre was calling my name to see if I could get OTA/HDHR to work there. I guess I could try moving the modem, router and hdhr closer to the breaker panel where the distribution is just to see if the shorter cable run helps but i cant do this as a perm solution. The second problem seems to be a tougher one to figure out a fix. I'll need to think about network layout for the perm solution. Its seems it was too much to send the signal all the way back to the wireless router (across the house through a switch), then back wirelessly to the Mini. This is only a temp solution since it is now off the network. I solved the stuttering problem by plugging the ethernet cable directly from HDHR to the MAC. Mac Mini is plugged into network via CAT5e cable.HDHR is plugged into network via CAT5e cable.OTA cable is routed via a distribution amp to the HDHR.The HDHR is setup next to Mac Mini in front of a Panny TV.Network is wired from w/l router to the basement where I have a couple of old computers setup for the kids as well as my home entertainment area (distribution via a 5-port gigabit switch).Cable Internet plugged into wireless router (DIR-655).Unfortunately, I am having a problem with video stuttering and getting all the OTA channels I had without the HDHR. I just picked up an HDHomerun Dual the other day to connect to a mac mini (also new), among other devices in the house.
