Subject: [ukha_d] HDMI Distribution over Cat5



Hi all

I'm about to buy a house that's been pre-wired with dual-cat5 to each
potential TV location, on the basis that there are now some gizmo's that
can send HDMI over Cat5 (none of this was my idea, btw). The 2 that
I've found are:

and

5d=23&tx_ttproducts_pi1%5bproduct%5d=14&cHash=baca0c6f04>

The problem is, both of these cost a fortune, and the latter, which is
recommended by the guy that did the AV cabling, isn't even capable of
the audio bit, so another fancy box would be needed.

Does anybody had ideas on a more economical solution? Right now there
will be 3 TVs and a projector (all HD), and 4 sources (2 x TiVo, DVD,
PC). They're all in a Node zero (along with Sonos which will take care
of music distribution), along with all the cat5 that's been home run to
the same cupboard.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Pete
