[mythtvnz] OT: Cat5e sharing phone and audio - any issues?

[Matt Poff]

OK so the cabling tally at the moment is:

2x Lexcom cable to most outlets
Dedicated 2-channel 14AWG speaker cable in two rooms
1x RG6 cable for HDTV in the future

Is dual-shield RG6 sufficient for future-proofing HDTV? I've heard the 
quad is only necessary if you live in the shadow of a TV transmitter or 
similar?

I don't want to rely on some distributed audio solution running over the 
Lexcom nor do I want to be limited to using active speakers at outlets, 
hence the speaker cable.

These rooms are unlikely to require 5:1 audio in future but at a pinch I 
could add rear speaker outlets using a  HomePlug transmitter/receiver 
and active speakers run over the mains cable.

Does this sound like a good plan?
