New Build Multi-Room advice

This is my fist post so please be gentle. I am looking for advice on a multi-room TV, audio, DVD, computer and satellite solution for 4 zones. I have read thru the threads and I think my requirement is much simpler than some I have read about. It won't need to have different sources on in each zone at the same time so each zone can have on whatever is on in the main zone (apart from maybe listening to radio in one zone whilst TV is on in another). I'm looking for a solution whereby all the source components will be in a "comms room" in a rack and speaker an TV/Computer/speakers in each of the zones. I envisaged having the ONKYO TX-NR905 Receiver as the device that the satellite box, DVD, router and HIFI would be connected to and this would also be the source for the speaker connections. I want to do this to avoid the rats nest of wires that I have at the moment behind the TV/sky/DVD set up. There will obviously need to a way of communicating with the sources from the zones as I don't really want to run from the furthest zone to the comms room some 30 metres away every time I want to maybe fast forward the DVD or change tracks on the CD or stations on the radio. I will be at first fix wiring stage in January so now is a good time to get this finally sorted. The system will need to be self installable as the build is in France. I did look at Wiselan but that only does a part of what I want to do. Is any of this feasible at a reasonable cost as the budget is not open-ended. Many thanks for any advice forthcoming.
