Before, you needed to connect your digital TV set top box to your TV via scart!) So again, that would leave me with analogue TV as the only option... (for this reason MythTV is also not really an option...)
Except that that is exactly how I use MythTV
Look at the pdf I put up.
satellite dish->closed set top box->[scart]->VCR->[s-video]->MythServer
The server uses an ir transmitter to change channel. It works *perfectly*.
You do lose "interactive" TV.
The picture quality is good enough to project to 100".
As for the comments about wires etc - that's really nothing to do with full house multimedia; that's design and decorating
My projector screen hides behind the coving in the ceiling; the speaker wires were installed when I built the walls. I took the floor up in the room above to feed the video. I drilled through the floor and fed more speaker wire there; the centre speaker is ceiling mounted and the wire was *hell* to route!! The subwoofer phono wire is visible. The amp/PC are currently "on show" but I'll hide them if/when I build the extension...
Oh, and the bathroom wires are quite well hidden ....
