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.
