Seems like something like this could be a good method of getting TV anywhere over simple LAN wiring, without having to worry about bundles of coax, signal loss, cable quality, voltage drop, etc... I just don't care to watch TV on a computer.

Good question... I was going to ask the same thing, hoping that this might be a replacement for my Roku HD1000, but I suspect that the answer is that it won't do this. I was curious though re why it has both inputs and outputs for the A/V devices, thinking that possibly it MIGHT be able to decode, but then I thought that probably it only passes through the A/V to your TV, and then encodes it.
