channels; (ii)
transmitting the plurality of single-ended digital content channels from the
first
multi--media digital device to the second multi-media digital device via one
or more coaxial
cables; and (iii) receiving the single-ended digital content channels from the
one or more
coaxial cables and converting the single-ended digital content channels back
into a
plurality of differential digital content channels that are supplied to the
second multi--media
digital device. Additional steps of the exemplary method may include: (i)
transmitting one or more auxiliary channels between the first multi-media
digital device
and the second multi-media digital device; and (ii) combining the one or more
auxiliary
channels with at least one of the plurality of digital content channels to
form a combined
channel to be transmitted from the first multi-media digital device to the
