An 8 channel distribution unit would do it; a couple to the lounge and
one to the other rooms (not that I need them, but in the spirit of
wiring the home ...). I'm not worried about distributing DVD or anything
really high quality and cost is certainly a consideration. This is
probably the reason for not thinking about Kat5; that and not having
extra boxes - I like the clean solution of just having a socket on the
wall. I will be putting in cat5 in all of the rooms too, wiring the cat5
& ct100 at the same time.
