ok, the answer to my questions is no.
so the Cable/Satelitte feed must go into the computer and the Extender is
acting purely as an output device for content that is on the MCE computer?
and if my computer is located in a different room than the TV where the
Cable/Satelitte signal comes in then i will have to be running S-video and
Audio cables all the way back to the computer?
