Hopefully my house-fire rebuild will be finished this month (was already supposed to be back in by now). I previously had Dish Network and another cable company in the past and I can say I was happy with them. I now have added 3 more TV's that will be wall mount and I am not sure what to do for getting the signal to the TV's. All of the wall mount locations have Cat5 and Coax cables run to a box coming from a central area in the basement. I do not want to have to mount "receivers" at each of the locations as I think it would look tacky; is there a way to hook everything up without having to have receiver boxes at each location? I wasn't sure if the remotes could reach the satellite boxes though all the walls? I also wasn't sure if I were to use traditional cable if the TV could access all the channels through the coax cable without a receiver box sitting there. Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question but I have never had wall mount TV's or had to deal with this before.
