Dear List,

I just want to thank you all -- I have never learned so much in such a
short time :)

After some thought, discussion with the wife, and the lack of a cover
plate with what I wanted; I have taken out the 120 line, and now
thinking about putting in the RCA cables for Audio and Video (three
lines) so that with a "flip of a switch" we can watch the digital cable
or the DVD on the TV downstairs.  Anyone see a problem with that?

Cat5, Coax, Phone (cat3 right?) and 3 RCA cables in same box, cables
running down inside wall, into two holes to basement ceiling.

  ------
  |    |  Wall Box with up to 8 openings in face-plate
  ------
   |  |
-------------- 1st floor floor/basement ceiling - Two seperate holes
   |  |
   |  RCA Cables (3 - two audio 1 video Red, Yellow, White)
   |
  Phone, Coax, Cat5 

After reading all your great original replies, I don't think there will
be any problems, but thougth I would ask again :)
