So long story short, I have a computer in my house from which I would like to broadcast Audio/Video to the tvs in my house. There are three TVs and they are all quite a distance form the computer. Running an S-video cable (for example) is not possible. All of the TVs are connected directly to a cable tv connection (no set top box or anything). The computer also has a coaxial jack right next to it.

Is it possible for me to use one of the RF modulators to inject the video output of my computer into the existing coax wiring in the house?

Will this interfere with the existing cable channels I receive or inadvertently broadcast my computer to all my neighbors too?

I kinda doubt if that's gonna work. RF modulators normally use channels 3 or 4 for their output. I've found that channel 3 interferes with channel 2 and 4. I suspect that it would affect your neighbors, but I'm not sure. If you could find a modulator that used a frequency that isn't close to any channels supplied by the cable, it 'might' work. But that's a very long shot.

An option might be to use wireless units, but switches would have to be used to change from the cable input to your wireless feed.

Plus, wireless units violate FCC regulations. Err, at least, some do.
