When we built our house in 2003, we wired the entire house with coax, to stream the television signal from our DirecTV receivers to other rooms in the house. We have one receiver for the first floor (living room, kitchen, offices) and one receiver for upstairs (master, other bedrooms). [Yes, whatever channel is chosen is seen on the entire level.]
We now have flat screens in the living room and master (with direct hdmi connections to the DirecTV receivers), but as the old analog tv's die, it would be nice for them to be able to take advantage of the HD from the receivers.
Currently, the there is an HDMI cable going from a receiver to the local flat screen. There is also a coaxial output being sent down to the mechanical room and then split (and boosted) to the rooms on the given receiver's floor. Is there a way to send the HD signal via the house's coax and then into new tv's via HDMI? Basically, I would have to split the HDMI signal coming out from the receiver, to allow one to go to the local flat screen and one to go into the coax to the rest of the floor.
