Airport Express - Bridge Mode for IPTV?

Hi,

I possibly would like to connect an Airport Express to an IPTV Receiver (Deutsche Telekom) using the LAN Port of the Airport Express. My Main Router (Speedport W921V) manages the IPTV Stream for the Main IPTV Receiver via LAN (works fine) to the 1st TV. The Airport Extreme is used in Bridge Mode as an Access Point for the Speedport. My question is if the Airport Express can be used as a Repeater for the 2nd TV.

Thanks in advance!

iMac 3,2 GHz Intel Core i3, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Yes ... and you have two options: 1) Configure both AirPorts into an extended wireless network, or 2) Configure the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) as a wireless Ethernet Bridge. Both methods would enable the AXn's Ethernet port for the Ethernet-ready TV.
