There are a number of devices that will do it. I purchased one at Home depot to monitor the pool. It has a closed solution that broadcasts via rf to a box that is a network access point, then you hace the option to pipe it directly via RCA cables to the tv or over the network.

not a LAN, so the sender unit has to be able to establish and handle either VPN or continuously send out IP packets to an identified station as the signals will be probably going over the Internet - at least through a number of routers as it crosses the different networks.

Those units you mention all appear to be for hooking up to a local area network, and most are for a dedicated network to display on your PC.

Call it a monday brain fart. I had lan on the brain. The only devices I have seen for wan connections just stream from an IP address. You would have to have a receiver that could browse then output to a tv.

He does use the word 'Ethernet' in the post title. I too assumed that's what he meant. Now I don't know if he wants to use wire or wireless...
