RE: sorry if naive - which is best - coax or kat5 ?

["Graham Howe" <graham@xxxxxxx>]

Then of course there is the question of EX and beyond! I actually think
that
this is turning into a somewhat unlikely scenario. If you think about it, a
room that is equipped with at least 5 speakers and a sub woofer and an amp
to drive them, can surely stretch to the expense of an additional DVD
player. Even when you look at the very reasonable cost of the KAT5 units
required, they are almost certain to exceed the cost of the additional DVD
player. My second DVD player cost me 60 quid from Woolworth's. I would
suggest that the natural market for the KAT5s (and certainly the reason I
bought some) is to allow video sources to be viewed in areas that are not
usually associated with a lot of viewing and therefore are not likely to
have loads of A/V kit. Obvious examples for me are a bedroom or kitchen TV,
or perhaps distributing TV out from a PC in the office (as Mark does). In
both these examples, either the source or the remote location has only got
stereo so a straight forward KAT5 pair and one CAT5 cable will suffice.

Graham
