Baluns, freeview, sky hd distribution

Hi,
Not sure what section to put this in.
Basically i am away to get skyHD and sky multiroom but how do i distribute these around the house, and also want freeview to be distributed?

I want to distribute to 3 tvs.
I have 2 x co-axial cable going to all tvs in the house and also 2x cat 5e cables going to all tvs.

I have bought a labgear 8 way distribution unit, can this distribute all the skyHD and also sky for multiroom and the freeview? how can i acheive this?
do i need to get baluns for distributing the HD?

Re: Baluns, freeview, sky hd distribution

If you want to view the HD box in HD you will need to use the dual CAT5 cables plus a suitable HDMI Distribution Amp/Matrix along with HDMI over CAT5 extenders.

If you simply want to 'view' the HD box and not worry that your seeing it in SD then you can go the RF route.
