When I was talking to a few of the UWB startups a year and a half ago, I 
  could see some short-range consumer electronics plays that weren't 
entirely crackpot ideas. (e.g. streaming video to the flat panel TV on 
the wall)

This long-range UWB for HDTV over cable thing is something else entirely.

What exactly does one use for a distribution amplifier in a system like 
that?
