I want to install my HD receivers in a central equipment closet, and run the HD signals to the TVs in rooms throughout the house. The existing wiring is (2) RG-6 and (2) Cat-5e cables to each TV location.

My biggest question is how do I use the existing RG6 cables to run the HD signal. Or do I need to use the CAT5 cables instead? I understand there may be a device that connects to the output of the receiver which changes the HD signal, and then a corresponding device just before the TV that converts it back to an HD signal that the TV can use?

Thanks in advance for the advice -- I'm new to this sort of thing. I know what I want to accomplish, but not how to get there!
