Rightly or wrongly, the house I am having refurbished has been wired with a fair amount of CAT7 cable (from each room back to the AV cupboard). There are 4 runs of CAT7 to each TV point plus an additional 2 to each room. I am hoping to be able to distribute SKY HD, Freesat HD, DVD HD etc to the various TV points.
I still have time to put HDMI cable in the floor/walls from the AV cupboard to the two main TV watching rooms (and the distances are less than 15m).
The question is : Should I bother?
I keep being told that usng baluns enable HD signals to go down CAT7 cable is expensive but so are HDMI cables of that length. It thus seems to me to be a question of quality / reliability. Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?
Thanks in advance.
