Distributing SKY

[Mike Robinson]

Would really appreciate some advice on this if possible. Currently have HD connected to main plasma via HDMI. Need to distribute the signal from the second sky box (multiroom) to other TV points around the house. The problem is that two of the other TVs are plasmas and from what I have read, distributing SKY pictures via a loftbox drastically reduces picture quality.

What is going to be the best way to distribute the SKY picture to the two plasmas in particular - not too worried about the other TV points.

Anyone have any advice in this area please?

Cat5 solution will allow you to run component video bu i reconmend running RF coax leads for freeview and control of HD box run 2 x cat5 and RF coax to each location

how do you get the sound over with the components?

[hornydragon]

you use the second cat5e for audio you can send component + Digital audio over 1 cat5e for stereo audio you need a seperate balun and another Cat5 cable which is why you run 2 cat5 and 2 Coaxes
