can you use the eurovox with a ethernet cable.

am asking because i've got an ethernet cable going upstairs to my room but the router is downstairs. so i would like to use the ethernet cable. is it possible.

No, you need aerial cable from the point where your cable service enters your home, using a splitter

well, if you mean to get the TV signal over ethernet, no - it comes through a cable feed.

or, if you mean to update the firmware, no - you have to use a pc/laptop with RS232 Null modem cable.

So - dont worry about ethernet - it has nothing to do with it

.

Thanks
