Re: video and sound distribution

Hi Alan it all comes down to the number of rooms and quality you want there is old school RF distribution which converts each source to modulated video and mono sound and you use a TV tuner to tune into channel 6 for sky box channel 7 for DVD etc. Or there is video ditribution where you use a switch that has 4 inputs and 4 outputs and can send any input to 1 or all outputs at the same time this is known as a Matrix switch more info is here Wired Life Multi-Room Video
