I use Kat5 for the same purpose. Watch Divxs on my TV from my PC and
MP3s through amplifiers through the house. As far as I know kat5 does
not provide a way of sending mouse/keyboard signals. I get this
functionality by controlling these with my bluetooth phone. I will be
getting bluetooth keyboard and mouse when I have some money.
