| 1185544 | 2011-03-13 00:58:00 | Is there a way to connect both tv and blu-ray to network with the one ethernet cable? Yes, you can do it with this - www.ascent.co.nz You will need two- one at each end, you will be limited to 100Mb/s (no GigE) and then you will need 4 short patch cords and two spare ports on the switch. The way it works is that fastethernet only uses 2 out of the 4 pairs on a normal network cable - this gizmo uses the 2 spare pairs and brings them out on another socket. Ahh - no. Second thoughts - this is intended when you have female wall sockets, you have a cable with male ends. Sorry, it's going to be messy. Third thoughts - you might as well bite the bullet and get a switch, a 5 port switch is less than $30. and there is bound to be a day in the near future when you want another port behind the TV. |

| 1185546 | 2011-03-13 08:30:00 | Well, given the conclusion to all this, Speedy was pretty much on the money. And given the expense of all the kit you have, why should another switch be a big issue? |
