Items shared would be:
Foxtel
HTPC
iTunes music from PC (ideally I'd like an Apple Airport solution to this where you can pick which speakers are on)

So does anyone have any ideas?
How many TV's are you looking to share content to?

What sort of budget are you allocating?

HDMI over CAT starts getting exxy + you need a powerpoint each end for dedicated power supply. You can run HDMI 30m without requiring HDMI-CAT conversion. I just ran a 10m cable recently from my front theatre to my master bedroom, so the PS3 can be used remotely (bluetooth remote) and dont have to putup with the noise of the unit, or having it on the dresser.
