Welcome to the list Graham!
Do not take today as a typical day, over 150+ messages a day isn't the
norm,
just every now and then ;)
As to Cabling, You should probably stick some CT100 coax from a central
point to each location you would want a tv. As far as Cat5 goes, there are
2
rules, Rule 1, You can never have enough. Rule 2, See Rule 1 ;)
For most of what you want, Cat5 will be perfect, audio, PC, Telephones,
S-Video( www.kat5.tv ), alarm signalling, 1-wire network, etc etc. The only
problem is working out how much and where.
You may also need screened multicore for the alarm system, but the cabling
for the alarm system should be designed for the alarm system, you won't be
moving PIR's and magnetic sensors around ;)
As far as the control of lighting/heating and other appliances, you have
X-10 which is cheap-ish and reliable-ish ;) or a hardwired system e.g
C-bus.
Have a look at Mark McCall's site www.automatedhome.co.uk/wiring which
should give you a headstart.
