I'm a little behind schedule for "cutting the cord" but now ready to proceed.
I'll be using an Amazon firebox and playstation vue.
Ooma for my landline.
Trying to figure out how the cables are all going to run.
Not going wireless so here's the plan so far:
Start with cable modem...
1. Ethernet cable to PC
2. LAN from Modem to Firebox
3. HDMI from Firebox to TV
4. Phone line from Modem to Ooma
5. External digital antenna hooked up directly to TV
6. DVD player hooked up to TV (through component or HDMI)
Have not figured out yet how to connect second TV. It will be located in immediate area of PC. The other TV will be as well but facing the other direction.
Would I use an HDMI switcher, maybe similar to this one?
HDMI Switcher 2 Ports Bi-direction Manual Switch 2 x 1 / 1 x 2 HDMI Hub-HDCP Passthrough-Supports Ultra HD 4K 3D 1080P By DotStone
Or a more simple splitter type device such as this one?
HDMI Splitter 1 in 2 out, Enlody 1 X 2 Splitter Box for Full HD 4K 1080P, Support 3D, 4k x 2k and Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 Resolution for Laptop, Monitor, PC, TV, Projector
Thanks for any input - I plan on trying to get this all done by next week.....
