[RVRC] PERSONAL Cable TV query (not ham radio related)

[N2GJ_AMSAT]

Thank you everyone for your interesting (and often entertaining) thoughts on
the subject.  I'm going to see how things work out "as is" for now; no
second cable modem (per many who opined that Comcast would extract their
due).  No powerline adapter (too $$$), and no remote (which I've bought once
and died and never worked that well anyhow - the signal has to get TO it
first!)  No Cat-V due to 2X10 floor joists in the basement I'd have to drill
through to run cable.  Let's see how things work without anything for now.

73,

GJ
