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

[Noel & Di]

I am currently sending video encoded signal along my lexcom cable.  I 
have six multiplexed UHF channels (ex mythbox, 2 SAT receivers, 
terestrial antennae, a DVDs and a VCR) with no interferance. I found 
Lexcomm cable less bulky, and easier to make off at the wall plate than 
RG6 and cat 5, plus it's tidier in the patch panel too.
