A question regarding wall mounted TV's.  If you wish to keep the Sky box, DVD etc. completely seperate from the TV, say in another room for example, what cables are recommended to run to the TV.  Someone who reckon they know about such things advised that, to future proof, I run 2 coax and 3 cat5e or cat6 to any TV point, working on the basis that you can send hdmi signals across cat5e/6 also.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The advice you got was totally correct. Run 2 coax and Cat 5e/6 to each point. This will futureproof you for most eventualities inc. 3D.

You can use these to extend the range of your Sky+ box http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-Extender-Cat5e-network-cable/dp/B005SFO6RA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_4

I wish i'd thought of it before, ended up having to track the walls again. Nasty job.

Just read this this evening, I found it repulsive. The same lack of state leadership pandering to a self riteous cabal.

Utterly sickening.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck..its a duck. :D I heard about it a month or so back and thought imediately..pyramid/Madoff.

Schemes like this are rarely what they promise to be, unless you're in early you've little chance of making money in the short or medium term.

I remember one back in the early 90's built around a telecoms idea. People got their fingers burnt there also.
