Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
I wouldn't have HD through cable. Too much compression degrades the picture. Satellite HD is the way too go! Better picture, and a greater selection of channels.
IPTV...even better for HD
its better not to generalize. Your cable maybe bad with Shaw but not with other cable companies. With Comcast cable the video is quiter good here although the selection is quite limited.
