Hi,

Thanks for that link. That was helpful.

So just to make sure I understand everything.. For a setup with 
emitters in the wiring closet & in my main AV room I would need two
connecting blocks (one for each location) with emitters connected. I 
would then wire power/ground/signal from each of the receiver 
locations to the connecting block in the wiring closet. Then I'd wire 
power/ground/signal from the connecting block in the wiring closet to 
the one in the AV room?

Would I need to power both connecting blocks?

Ive searched around and noticed the Buffalo Electronics kit seems 
cheaper. Anyone know where I can pick this up in the UK? If not are 
there any good sites for the Xantech stuff?

Thanks
Claude
