Domestic Distribution Advice

Forum addicts

I am in dire need of some advice in regards to a domestic distribution system.
We live in a normal 3 bed semi,Lounge Diner (where main TV is), Kitchen and conservatory. (6 points)
Would like to distribute DAB/FM/SAT/Digital Freeview/Network into each room.

I was looking at loft boxes/DDU, they do seem to be more aimed at satellite installations, or does a better solution exist?

TV Areas

Lounge
TV - Terrestrial Freeview
HDD PVR - Terrestrial Freeview
CABLE (Virgin) - Only want this in the Main Room, plus I don't believe you can distribute like SKY
SKY HD BOX

Bedrooms

All Terrestrial Freeview with decoders

Conservatory

TV with Terrestrial Freeview

Kitchen

TV with Terrestrial Freeview


I'm a bit of a novice, but understand the basics of what to do. I had some quotes but they all offered different solutions or didn't fully understand what I wanted, one even wanted to install a seperate aerial for each room! These were all approved installers on the CAI website. SO have little faith.

Based on this experience, I want to install all the cabling and then get someone to put the aerials up as I don't do heights very well.

So my question is where do I go, DDU? Most I have looked don't really seem to do what i want, so any advice greatly sought. Triax or similair DDU with outlet plates in each location, seems logical or is this overkill.

I'm sure my wants are not unusual.

Kind Regards
