[xine-user] computer far from TV set

[Petr S. <pst...@so...>]

Hi guys,

a bit off topic but I need the answer for better use of xine. I noticed
xine supports nvtv, I got TV out on my nv card (so far so good) but I
have my computer located in another room than the TV is. I wonder what
is the max length of SCART like cable (i.e. video and audio) that would
be able to transfer the signal from xine/TVout to my TV in a reasonably
(i.e. better than DVD) quality?

The distance here is like 7 metres straight but I wish I could hide the
cable in the walls and ceiling which would then require no less than 15
metres. What do you think? (asking for real experience before start
buying the cables - maybe that it's possible to buy a higher quality
cable if long distance is needed?)

P.S. Note that I know about piece of hardware that is able to transfer
video and audio wireless but all solutions I saw were stereo only and
xine needs 5.1 so this is not an option for me (not to mention the
price).
