Cable Forum - View Single Post - Tivo V6 Can I run a single Virgin Tivo over Cat5e to multiple TVs?

I had Virgin Media (Full House Bundle) installed last week. I have Cat5e cabling to a number of faceplates on different floors where I want to put TVs. The cables all terminate where my new Tivo box is installed.

I am a complete non-technical novice, and think I may have made a major error.

a) I was told I can connect my Tivo box to a distribution panel, which will then connect to the faceplates. Can anyone recommend a suitable device?

b) If I have a number of remote TVs connected to my Tivo box over Cat5e, how can I operate the Tivo box from different rooms?

c) Can 2 people watch different channels, stream music, Netflix simultaneously on different TVs from the single Tivo box?

All help and advice will be most welcome. This is my first post. Please be gentle!
