Hi
I have a tv downstairs next to a cable modem, wireless router, virgin v+ box (currently) and a Xbox (recently). A PC upstairs is connected through a power adapter thing that works well.
I've connected the Xbox to pc wirelessly and can access Windows Media Player.
I am going to cancel my Virgin tv and telephone (expensive) and replace with a decent Internet broadband service.
My tv aerial comes in downstairs. I can use Xbox for iplayer etc. and may look at Netflix/lovefilm. But to get live tv and be able to record series etc. do I have to get a freeview box/pvr downstairs? Seems daft as I have a media PC upstairs - but to use that, how do I get tv signal up to my PC?
It seems I have enough kit - just in the wrong place. Can't really run a coaxial cable all the way upstairs.
Thanks
