    Hi

    I was just looking for advice about av requirements in my home. Here is a overview of what I have so far:
    -I have 3 rooms downstairs and 3 upstairs .
    -Each room upstairs is has 1 coax and 1 cat6 cable at the location of TV, all cabled back to a central location.
    -Downstairs in my kitchen I have 2 speaker cables in 2 corners of the room at ceiling height and 2 locations with coax and cat6 for TV.
    -In the smaller sitting room I have speaker cable in all 4 corners of the room at ceiling height and also 1 coax and 1 cat6 in 2 alcoves for TV ( not sure witch corner TV will go)
    -In the the larger sitting (main) room again I have speaker cable in all 4 corners at ceiling height and 1 behind the TV also behind the TV I have 2 coax and 2 cat6. There is also in another corner 1 coax and cat6.
    -All of this cable is cabled to a central location under the stairs and housed in a cabinet.
    -There is also 2 coax and 1 cat6 cabled to the attic ( for satellite, free veiw).

    For sound , what I want is a system that I can listen to music in all 3 rooms at the same time and separately, that can be controlled by laptop, tablet or phone wirelessly I would also like to be able to ad wireless speakers upstairs and maybe out in the garden.

    For video I would like to be able to have surround sound in main room, and I would like to be able to play DVDs in central location and watch in any room in house and to be able to access my hard drive in any room also.

    The coax cables in attic is going to be for free view TV dish and maybe a foreign satellite dish which I would also like to be able to view in any room. I also have a digital TV box from UPC in main room this is also my broadband router I am planning to fit a network switch in my cabinet and use 1 cat6 from router to feed my switch and 1 coax to split my digital box (so I can also view in another room).

    I think that's all the info but feel free to ask me anything I might have left out.

    So what I'm hoping to find out is if all of the above is possible and what type of av receiver will I need and what speakers to buy.

    Regards,
    Gary
