[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3348277, member: 43724"] Having two ethernet and coax runs to one or two spots makes sense (I have 2 coax and 1 ethernet in the living room, and no not for sat, had the 2nd for playing around with antennas with a tuner card in a pc) but not for the whole house. With the way technology is going pretty soon you would only need 1 or 2 coax lines total for the whole house, the rest would be a mix of wifi and ethernet. Even cox is doing this now with IPTV, cloud based DVR and wireless/ethernet based clients with the internet gateway as the host. For the other rooms a 1" conduit would suffice for what you would need and would allow you to run cables where ever you need em. Personally I wouldn't run them all the way back to the split location, but rather from the room to the attic. Of course if I build a house now the house would be spray foamed for insulation which would make the attic much easier to work in as it wouldn't have loose insulation. Its a pretty exciting time for telecommunications, well disregarding what all the major ISP's are doing to the traffic of course (my own employer meters bandwidth, something I'm partially against except I've seen what having 2-4 people sucking down bandwidth can do to a node). However if Cox goes node + 0 with their network, that should allow them to offer endless bandwidth. But, they get enough people willing to pay extra $ for unlimited bandwidth that I doubt they will remove that cap or make it higher. [/QUOTE]
