Hey guys, I have a couple of questions about what equipment I need for video distribution. I would like to move a cable box/dvr into my equipment closet and broadcast the signal to several TV's. I was planning to get a 2 input 4 output HDMI splitter/switch so that I could also put my PS3 in...

Hey guys, been lurking here a bit and am just really getting started on my HA system. My current plan is to ease into it by getting a Glabal Cache unit to control my AV gear and automate lights, shades and fan in my Theater room. Over time I plan to expand this to the whole house including...
