Bill,
I don't use the coax out for the living room TV.

I use HDMI from the 211 to the home theater, HDMI from home theater to TV. If you don't have HDMI, you can use component (3 wire), Svideo or composite (1 wire). If you use component, Svideo or composite, you also have to run the audio. (HDMI includes audio.) These can be run to the home theater or directly to the TV. This frees up the coax to run to the bedroom.

Hope that makes sense.

(This probably makes the most amount of difference with HiDef and DVD's)
Quality of signal:
HDMI: Best
Component: Better than Svideo
Svideo: Better than composite
Composite: not sure if it is the same as coax

I haven't tried calling for the local channels yet as we haven't been out of the area.

Ken
