I am building a distribution system in a high tech home for 8 satellite
recievers (Starchoice) to be distributed over Cat5 wire to 8 rooms in the
home. We have run 2 Cat5e cables to each location as well as 1 RG6 coax
from a central electrical distribution room in the basement where the
satellite receivers are all rack mounted.
The customer wants to have HD signals to each room with digital audio and IR
control of the recievers.
Question - is there an adapter/converter available to combine the digital audio and video
signals onto one or two Cat5e cables (including the IR signal) with a neat
looking wall plate on the TV end? Money isn't the problem here.
I realize I could just put the receivers in the rooms and just use the coax,
but that will clutter the wall in the room with wires from the reciever to
the TV. The televisions are all HD compatible wall mounted flat screens
with HDMI, component, and digital audio inputs. The wall jacks are all
located behind the TV's so no wiring is visible.
The satellite recievers are all Starchoice 505HD recievers with component
video, l + r audio, and DVI outputs.
I understand the DVI output does not include audio like HDMI. Why don't
they build recievers with HDMI outputs like most other HD components???????
