All,
I am in the process of purcahsing a flat that is "Pre-wired with CAT7 cabling for the Lexcom AV system". I am totally new to this but have been doing some research around and I had a few questions:
1.) I assume I will need to pay for the big switchboard thing and terminals in each room (2 bed flat - would probably want 2 connectors in lounge, 1 in each bed and perhaps one in the bathroom). How much is this likely to cost?
2.) Are you able to do in wall connections as well - for Plasma wall mounting and speaker positioning around the room?
3.) Am I limited to installing the Lexcom system as there do appear to be a few limitations:
i.) Composite video connection that is offered is lower quality than I usually use (component or above)
ii.) I have SKY HD and would ideally like to split the HDMI signal and route that to 3 different HDTVs (lounge and 2 bedrooms) - is this possible with Lexcom or with anything that is compatible with Lexcom
iii.) Lexcom site says it can't support Dolby Digital 5.1, only stereo - is this true as it is not really good enough for watching SKY HD, films from PC /DVD or console gaming (Xbox 360).
4.) Is this an upgradeable system? - what does it actually offer? (the marketing material is generally very unclear!)
Thanks a lot, and sorry for any newbishness...
