Man, does that ever sound like a reason to look hard at what's out there in wireless adapters. Yeah, you lose a little if you're not digital thru-and-thru, but we're looking into it for similar reasons. Got some big honkers we want to hang on to, plus multiple speakers in other places that have been rewired more than once. Now we want music in the bath, plus we discovered the prior owner had speakers in the little boat house so of course we want to add music there too.

We already have wireless networks at home that connect our computers to tv and audio, so it looks like we're gonna go that way for hooking the speakers to the sources next.

I used to say "no more paper" and we're close here now. (Well, except for 2257 stuff. ) Now if we can just do "no more wires" too, that would be most excellent.

Oh yeah... I forgot my original question... did you get your wiring problem taken care of?
