Device to transmit cable TV over LAN?

Does anyone know of a device that would allow me to hook up the audio/video signal from my cable TV box and stream it over the LAN?

Thanks...newb question, but has anyone used these over wireless LAN? Can it handle the bandwidth?

802.11g should be able to handle it

orb re-encodes the video on the fly based on the amount of available bandwidth to avoid buffering. Since it's free I would give it a try before dropping loot on a slingbox.

So with this I could watch TV on my ODA on the way to work if the train had wifi?

Are there any programs that will allow me to broadcast "cable" from my desktop? I have a TV Tuner on my desktop and would like to be able to use it from my laptop when I'm playing games on my desktop.
