    Does anyone know if this is possible, or how it is done?

    I went to see some serviced offices on Friday. Here at home I have Bloomberg TV wittering on in the background. More for company than information. Loads of trading floors have sat tv and I was wondering if this sort of thing is possible over cat 5 or what ever?

    Additional: I know I can get Bloomberg TV over the internet, but that would eat into the 256K pp bandwidth they allocate as standard.
    Get your own phoneline with ADSL fitted.
    Some serviced office companies don't have an official policy on it to you might need to lean on them a bit
    Coffee's for closers

        I've got this setup at home with SkyHD, if you use a HDMI switcher as well its excellent and cheap.

        Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

          Kramer do good stuff, but it isn't cheap.

          I had a setup using Kramer kit - S-VIDEO, stereo audio and a RF feed down a single CAT-5 cable, over about 20m, switched via a patch panel.

          The RF feed wasn't usable for analogue/Freeview but it was perfect for changing channels on the Sky box using a Magic eye.
