Thanks Alex,

What do you run over co-ax though? Is it just a video stream?

When I re-wired the house, I put cat5 and coax, however, with current
technology, you can run a lot more over cat5 either by convertors or via IP
than you could even just a few years ago. Think about the technology
available now and your immediate plans, then take a long "blue
sky" think
and put in a bit extra on top to be sure.

Personally, I'd just run a few trunks to key points in coax and run the
res=
t
in cat5.

Hi,

I'm carrying out the final specs of my HA wiring plan and I've noticed that
co-ax has been repeatedly suggested for TVs on here.

With HDMI over Cat5 convertors coming in at sub =A320 now
(http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=3DAV19971)
do I
really need to run co-ax? Or have I missed the point? Just seems extra
mone=
y
to run yet another cable type when there are already cables that will be
ru=
n
to support HD video.

Cheers,

Mike
