That would probably work, but if you already have a "spare" CAT-5 run
between the two rooms, you'd probably still be better to go with the
video balun idea: the units would cost a little more initially, but it's
a damn sight less than the cost of replacing the DVR if it gets stolen
from downstairs.  Just remember you can't route the video thru your
switch :)
