Just bought a new house. Has cat 5 running to a small box to the basement.
Wireless Internet is installed and we run 2 laptops and a wireless printer.
There are also phone jacks and cable installed in only 2 rooms, upstairs and downstairs.
I want to add cable TV to all the rooms in the house. So I need to install more jacks myself but...
What can I do with the cat 5?

what kind of "small box"?
Really need to have a little more information to be able to understand what it is you are wanting to do.
There is a mulitude of things you can do with Cat-5 ie. phone, data, video, camera, intercom.......
