Make sure you come back and update me when you try it, and then find out that the cables are all stapled to the studs.

That's always extra fun to discover once you start running cabling.

Though, if you have good coax everywhere, MOCA is a legitimate option you should be considering, as it'll do gigabit (more than, even) and the adapters aren't particularly expensive compared to dealing with having to pull cabling through everywhere.

Good point, I'll consider MOCA. The main problem is that we have three sets (OTA antenna, satellite, and internet), and I'm not sure which are which, but figuring that out should be quite a bit easier than running cable. :)

I'm not planning on getting anything more than gigabit in the near future, though my city is rolling out fiber and claims to support up to 10gbit.
