I'm about to build my home and I want to keep all my equipment in the dedicated mechanical room. I'm a huge Directv fan but I do not want the receiver/client installed at every TV location.
Has anyone used a HDBaseT unit to transmit HDMI over CAT6? My thought is to place the DirecTv receievers in the cabinet and home run CAT6 wires to each TV location rather than RG6 or HDMI cables. Here's a matrix and receivers from Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=109&cp_id=10914&cs_id=1091405&p_id=10683&seq=1&format=2
What I'm concerned about is how I would change channels if the directv receiver is in basement? Does Homeseer or another home automation controller take care of that issue?
