If you install electrical conduit from your source to your display you will give yourself many more options in the future without ripping out drywall. Plastic conduit will only run a couple of bucks and is fine unless you are in a very heavy RFI area. Run a couple of HD nylon strings through the conduit when you install it. You can then use the string to fish other cables.
Do I REALLY need to install DVI and 15 pin cable?
I am working on a family room and have been given conflicting or incomplete info regarding what cables to run from the receiver's location to the video display. It has been suggested by an installer that I only need S-video for this. I went ahead and added 5 RG-6 leads for component video. What am I going to miss if I don't add a DVI cable (are they all the same?) or a 15 pin mini-din cable (are they all the same?) I was led to believe that the pin locations were not standard. The walls are pretty closed up, but I may add them if the cost of the cable is not too high. Thanks for reading and I hope someone can answer my question.
