A friend of mine has asked me for suggestions on how to prewire his new house. He has 6-7 tv locations and wants all media boxes in a central closet. The only sources he will have will be DirectTV sat. boxes for each location and possibly one or two blu-ray players. I'm currently thinking 2) RG6 and 4) cat6 drops at each location, using the cat 6 for hdmi over cat 6 using the Monoprice 8008 or 8201 baluns with ir. The longest run would be 45-55'.
He also would like 8 speakers on his patio, would a basic receiver power these? He doesn't need independent volume control or anything special, just basic background music.
Please critique my plan and offer any suggestions you may have for this situation. Thanks in advance!
