    I'm trying to build my own PVR/TIVO type system using a PIII-550 with 256MB Ram, 20GB HD, DVD and CDRW drives. I'm going to throw a ATI AIW 7500 card into it for the TV Tuner and it comes with an RF remote to control the computer.

    I use the computer still for other applications, so I want to keep it in my office, BUT I want to be able to access the PVR features in other rooms. The ATI card has composite outputs, so I figure I can connect the outputs to the other TVs that way.

    My question....

    How long can the composite cables reach before they start to loose the signal? How can I extend that?

    Thanks for the help!

    compostie. I am using low loss special composite cable for 20 feet than 5 feet of ordinary cable with almost no quailty loss and lots of bad connections! So you should get 30metres before quailty sarts degrading if you where to use the correct cable.
