Hi Frank

I've actually got the going to the Kitchen TV, plus i might need to be the
Bedroom if shes Ironing :) - or my Daughters room if its something like
Garfield we are watching :)

KAT5 would have been a good solution for one location, but not for 3 i
think.

I think Doogies suggestion may work as i was going to connect the HTPC into
the Whole house audio anyway for MP3 playback, so might not be a bad
suggestion, just would have prefered everthing including audio down one
coax...



Dean.
