Also my roommate taught me about veetle.com and that works really well. Definitely worth trying out imo.

Also matty im pretty sure youre a mac guy and playon doesnt work through mac for some reason. Apparently people are tying to get veetle to work though roku but it wont right now because you wouldnt be able to get the sound to come on. Im almost thinking about getting a stand alone desktop for my tv.... thats really want you need to do if you watch a lot of tv.
Sounds like you need a diplexer. Looks like a spilter but works different.

I have Playon and don't really like how buggy it is.

Im using fios internet. Would it be as simple as hooking one diplexer up where the fios box feeds to the main coaxial line and then another one where the tv is (which also happens to be the same place where the modem is)? If i have coaxial cable going to multiple rooms in the house would complicate anything, or would i just need to split the single going out to additional rooms? It just seems real confusing to me.
