Lagging digital tv over ethernet
- by Steve
I have a HD Home Run TV over ethernet device, which connects the aerial to my router, and from there the router connects to my PC over about 15m of 100Mbps ethernet cable.
The TV output lags every second. It does not do so for a computer much closer to the router.
It is odd to me that the network rate is around 7Mbps on a 100Mbps cable. I am not downloading or streaming anything else on the affected computer.
Is this lag caused by the speed of the cable, the length of the cable, or interference on the cable?
I am considering swapping the ethernet cable with shielded ethernet cable.
