Selecting Equipment for Media Switchboard: TV, Satellite, Internet, Cameras

I am very much asking for help in selecting active equipment for a multimedia cabinet in a newly built house.
I will be making the cabinet on my own - I have never selected equipment and fittings for such a cabinet before.

The cabinet is to distribute
- TV signal from a terrestrial antenna to 4 rooms in the attic (the antenna will be located in the unused attic)
- 2x satellite signal to the living room (possibility of watching and recording)
- internet to the internet sockets to the 4 rooms in the attic and to the living room on the ground floor.

- I am considering leaving wires for the cameras on each corner of the building

"Twisted pair" cable from the intercom will not go through the multimedia switchboard. The fibre optic cable will be routed to the garage where the multimedia cabinet will be located.

Is there any point in pushing for TV cables or do all TV providers already support TV over the internet?

I haven't yet decided whether to go for a flush-mounted switchboard or a rack.

- Maybe multiswitch - eg. MR-512 and to all TVs 2 cables + more cables for SAT antenna (size of dish also better with spare) - there will be more possibilities.
As for the switchgear, for such a purpose I would suggest a telecommunication cabinet - e.g. FibeRPT 25 or something similar depending on the needs.
Into the cabinet some kind of router/switch and distribute to the LAN sockets + some WiFi in an optimal place - e.g. UniFi.

- if you are building it is worth pulling cables in my opinion.

To the living room two coax and two twisted pair, to the other rooms under the TV a twisted pair and a coax, all this to the media cabinet.
From the media cupboard to the aerial mast 5 coax and twisted pair, aerials on the mast outside not in the loft.

Twisted pair to furnace, to garage under wi-fi e.g. in corridor on ceiling. Twisted pairs outside to cameras.

Multiswitch e.g. 5/8 + unicable muliswitch e.g. Johanson

I don't see why not?
Absolutely yes. Plus at least two wires between the multimedia cabinet ("weak-multimedia" for now) and the control panel of the alarm system ( LAN for the control panel and possible control/analogue signals.).

Nowadays IP intercoms/videophones + Remote Access Itp, it is better to give a twisted pair to the multimedia than to the electrical switchboard.
And, as the colleague above mentioned, e.g. 2 twisted-pair cables from the multimedia to the electrical switchboard.

definitely + spare fields e.g. one free strip in this switchboard.
And I would also give from this multimedia cabinet one pipe with remote control to the attic and one to the fence ( with some manhole revision on the way) and a third to the back of the building. This would be used for extending the controls, bringing in the internet, for an external alarm system, etc.

Instead of one twisted-pair cable to the living room, it is worth giving 2. The second one can be used to transfer the image after HDMI converters from the DVR to the TV.
