A: So, I'd need extra cables to connect the TV to the Internet?

B: Yes, but just one. Do you know where your modem is?

A: It's across the other side of the apartment. How would you we connect it up?

B: Well, one way would be to run the cable under your floorboards from one room to another. A lot of people do it that way.

A: We rent our apartment, so we can't touch the walls or floors.

B: In that case, another alternative might be to use a wireless LAN unit. You'd just need the transmitter connected to your TV and the receiver in the hall. No cables.

A: That sounds like a much better idea.
