Chris,
 
I run _NO_ coax through the house.
 
I only use CAT5 with KAT5 modules...

Subject: [ukha_d] Is COAX to every room really necessary

Guys,
 
I am struggling to understand why I may need to run COAX to every room.
 
Our set up has whole house distributed audio / as well as the option for DDAR devices. KAT 5 will be used.
 
Can I not just distribute the TV prgrammes (Satelite, TIVO, DVD whatever) over KAT 5 ? Perhaps someone can explain how the following get sorted:
 
1. Synchronising picture and sound. If SWMBO turns the channel then she wants the sound to switch too. Assuming that I am not using the crap speakers in the TV how might this be achieved.
 
2. There will always be folks who want to watch different channels at the same time- it's one of the main reasons to have more than one set. I guess KAT5 and a recording device kinda sort this, but perhaps this is where COAX is useful? If so what is the setup given my need for half decent sound?
 
3. If COAX needs to be run - can it be in the same ducting as CAT 5 and other 'data' cables such as USB  or serial or SCART cables.
 
Thanks
