Hello,
My current setup has the coax cable line running into the STB, which feeds to the TV via HDMI cable... pretty standard. I have a Sony BDP-CX960 Blu-ray/DVD changer that I will be hooking up to the same TV, but in order for it to access Gracenote and grab the title and info for all the discs, it has to have an Ethernet internet connection (This model didn't have any wireless capability built in). We have Comcast, and the router is downstairs, far away from this setup and not feasible to connect directly to the BDP. Would it be possible to split the coax before it gets to the STB, have one end continue to the STB and on to the TV as normal, and have the other end go into an old modem, then connect the modem to the BDP via Ethernet? In my brain, this seems like it should work, but I'm sure if it could, there would be some setting up I'd have to do first.... Thoughts?
