too many sources!

    Hi all,

    Am looking for some advice. I am kitting out a new house and am running into more and more problems as I try to add more sources!

    Basically, I have every room in the house wired with at least one (and often many more) CT100 (TV) points and CAT5e points.

    All of these are terminated at a central patch panel where I had hoped to install all of the equipment such as Syk box, Free view box, DVD etc..etc...

    I thought I would be able to use technologies such as multiple RF modulators to inject each device into a single cable and then split that out to each room. However, I am encountering problems as follows (and probably more to come!)

    1) There is quite a quality drop using just a single modulator (and I would need several)
    2) Using magic-eye to send IR signals back from the TV's to the sources is proving reliable for Sky but not so reliable for everything else
    3) I am at a loss as to how to get some signals to the location: for example a VGA from a HTPC?

    Here is the ideal world scenario: I have a variety of sources all of which can be displayed on the TV's in each of the rooms in the house. Each room will have a universal remote which will allow it to control that source which will be physically located elsewhere (eg: beside the distribution/patch panel). The list of devices that I would like to support includes:
    1) Sky HD
    2) XBox
    3) Media Center PC
    4) Free to Air Satellite
    5) NTL Cable
    6) Security Cameras (RF signals)
    7) DVD

    Any suggestions on how to rig this up?....
    thanks all,

    Jab

    i know that my spark is installing this for me: www.digitialplumbers.com

    running cat5e & ct100 back to this distribution center but i assume the system has a built in modulator or whatever is needed to keep the quality up.

    got a price of 1100 for the system off www.incontrol.ie in dublin but its a couple of 100 euro cheaper if you get it in the UK. they seem to be using this for their systems or so i was told.
