Instead of rewiring have you looked into a HPNA solution? Actiontec makes a HPNA device that converts cat5 to coax. I have tested up to 6 systems on one HPNA network with speeds up to 60 MB for each. This protocol is designed to not interfere with current cable channels. The only downfall is that you will need one Actiontec device for each room. They run between $40 and $80.
I love the concept, but believe that the problem is complexity, not functionality. Something simple, and stable can also be feature rich and fast. It should not take an expensive week course to figure out how to completely use something. Technology changes so fast that we will all end up spending months a year just learning how to use things that will be replaced in five years or less. Life is too short my friends.
