What do you mean No coax? Doesn't direct tv require a coax connection?

Ok. There is one (1) coax run in my house. From outside to the media closet. From there, everything passes through an 8x8 (8 in 8 out) Matrix, then through CAT6e cable and converted to HDMI at the TV.

ETA: all receivers(only need 4) are in a central media closet, along with xBoxOne and 360 and MS home media server.

With the matrix you can acces any source from any one or more tvs in the house.

We finished building about a year ago... subbed everything myself and did a good bit of the work as well. Everything went well... hardest part was having to buy EVERYTHING and make sure it's on site on time. Windows and doors have a pretty good lead time so make sure you have those and the carpenter isn't waiting on 'em! Scheduling wasn't too bad, but I had to finish plumbing trim out myself because my plumber couldn't get back when I needed him to.

Bank was cool.
Subs were cool, except the painter. frick that guy.
Also, buy everything you can with a credit card with points... we got a couple of ski trips out of it at the end.
