Great, thanks guys. Just drawing it all out now I have this input. I am not going to be gaming online so will use HDMI to cat5 connectors for the video/audio.
Would it be possible to use a switch to feed multiple devices to multiple tv's. For example, if I have a video/Audio image for PC and Xbox converted to run over cat5 pluged Into a switch. Which then goes off to the lounge and bedroom, can I see my pcscreen in both the bedroom and lounge once I convert the image back to HDMI from cat 5 and into the tv.
Not sure if I switch can be used for audio/video over cat5 in the same way it can for Internet
CAT5 Won't act as Monitor cable. It's just a network lead that spreads your internet around your house.
For example, you if you play the movie on your PC it wont just appear on your TV.

That there is the client you install on your PC, acts as a server, you point it to your files (Movies etc /my documents / movies )
The best way to describe it is to say my setup.
-I Have my BT Homebub that connects to my PC.
-I then have a Little Android Media Centre next to my downstairs TV. (I don't have a DLNA TV) This is plugged into the TV with a HDMI lead.
-The box can run off WIFI or CAT5 (Ethernet)
-I downloaded that software onto the PC, pointed to the direction of my movies.
-Then on the Media Box, I downloaded the same client. Then with a little setting up, I can point it to my network (Anything on the CAT5) and allow access to my PC's folders (The the client on the PC is pointing to)
-Then on my TV I can choose through a list of movies to play.
Now essentially, If I was to setup that box to each TV in the house, I'd be able to choose from a different film on each TV at the same time. (I've not done it, but there is no reason why not)
With the DLNA Supported TV's i'm afraid I've not played with one, so I can't tell you how to get them pointing to your PC's folders.
Hope this helps.
DNLA or SMART TVs run exactly the same way except no need for the extra box obviously.
My Samsung is easy, as long as it is connected to the same network the network is visible on the TV ie pictures, music or video. Although I have an Apple TV anyway
