RE: digital audio distribution

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tony and Clive for the replies.



Tony - have you done this yourself? Will Cat5 handle the full 5.1
bandwidth (well, I guess it handles Gigabit networking so it should -
but I thought I'd ask!). Would you / do you put it down any particular
pairs on the Cat5 (i.e. one of the tighter twisted pairs)?



Cheers,



Paul.

Get an optical to coax converter and stick it on the sky+ output.
Then feed via CAT5 to the amp - or thru a coax to optical converter if
your amp 
doesn't have a coax input.

Craplins do these converters for about 20/30 quid each.

HTH,


Tony
