First thing I’d add for a second release of this video, at least for people like me, is a suggestion to carry a notepad along and write down the room/test node pairings in order to minimize the chance for human error. Oh, also, have some painters tape & Sharpie available to get the lines temporarily labeled immediately on identification. No reason to risk getting them mixed-up.

A "Short Circuit" That means 1) that the Coax you are testing is actually connected to a powered device (television, Set-top box, Etc), & it reads SHORT, because it's detecting power in the line. 2) the coax is damaged or cut and somehow, the braid (negative) is making contact with the center conductor (positive); this will cause a short

It can work for video or internet. If you want a cable tv in that outlet then it'll work for video. If it's for internet, then it'll work for that too. If you want both in that same outlet you'll need a splitter to split the signal for both. One single coax connection can carry video, data, & voice.

The HDMI will take care of both video & sound. The optical audio input just handles sound if you want to run audio separate through surround sound system, however the audio input will not effect the quality of the video. Alot of receivers that i have seen in the field, even 8 years ago, have had HDMI inputs for both video and audio. The only issue you might run into is the voices not syncing with lips properly and/or inferior sound with 4k video

Here's the truth, IMO. They always keep coming up with reasons for people to waste their money and upgrade. Look at what happened to 3D when they try to push that BS. It was a bust. Same will be with Atmos, just a gimmick. As long as your AVR has HDMI 1.4(around 2013 gear) you'll get 1080P with HD sound. I have news for you 5.1 is still the gold standard. You barely have content is even 7.1. Save your money. You will not be able to tell the difference between 1080P and 4K unless you're a serious gamer or sitting 2 inches away from your monitor. It's not the same upgrade we had when we made the jump to 1080P. I have a 2009 Pioneer Kuro plasma and there isn't anything out there, IMO, that entices me to want to upgrade. Beautiful 1080P picture plus HD sound with my 6 year old Pio receiver. I'm keeping everything till it dies.
