    I am just starting second fix on my own build and for the TV points I would ensure a minimum of 3 cat6 runs from your central location to each tv point for HD TV distribution, 2 for the HD signal and 1 for TV to get on your home network.

    Hi Manufan, why do you need 2 Cat6 for a HD signal.....also most TV's only have one CAT6 input so dont know how you can combine these...

    can you explain your setup to me..

    Thanks

    You can effectively make a very long HMDI cable by using 2 CAT6 cables.
    This is handy if you want to send HD TV around your home.

    I have some long runs in my house from central location understairs to tv points and after some research a HDMI Matrix seems to be the best solution to carry the HD signal throughout house without risk of losing quality.

    I will be buying a HDMI matrix - something similar to this http://www.tmfsolutions.co.uk/Octava_HDMX44CAT.htm
    sky box , xbox , media player etc under stairs will plug into this matrix which will send the HD signal with IR control over the cat6 runs to my tv points where there will be another small receiver that then feeds the signal to the tv.

    This site has different types of matrix to suit different set ups with connection diagrams to see how they connect.
    Iv no connection to either links posted.
