network hub can I use 2?

here is the situation, My main computer is downstairs and I have a router and a hub connected to it in the basement, one of the lines from the hub runs up to my family room to my direct receiver, I now have a new tv that has a lan port, it would be too hard to run another line from the basement, can I add anoter hub upstairs near the tv to the line going into the directv receiver and then run 2 lines out of that hub, one to the receiver and one to the tv? I hope I made sense. thanks

 

With hub, you would get only speed upto 10 Mbps. If you plan to use only internet, then I don't think it would be a problem but for sharing files/media I would get switches.

 

Thank you I meant to say switch not hub

 

ok. That would work.

 

Yes that is possible but you might experience a lot of packet data loss with so many connections in between. Not only your TV but your receiver will also stop to work efficiently. You will have lost internet connection problems with this setup. My suggestion, which might be a little tough at the initial stage but once you do it you will be comfortable for a long time until another equipment you purchase have a lan connection.
Get rid of the hub and the line that is coming from your router to direct receiver, connect that line to a new switch which you will have to get. Now since the line is already there you don't need to put in a whole new line from basement to your living room. So here is the configuration summary.
Computer->router(basement)->switch in the living room(or any other convenient place)-> and from there you can take out multiple small length connections either to your receiver or TV or any other purpose.
