That's great. But now how many people have 4 conductor cable running around their house? Seems like it would be easier to just run the HDMI cable and get an extender.

IMHO, your best bet is still to run cat6 everywhere in your house - a couple drops per room (with 4-6 in a few key areas) connecting to a central location, and you're not going to run out of options for a long while. Shouldn't even be all that expensive, either.
