Home Theatre cabling (speakers, 70ohms digital and HDMI)

Hi there,

I'm a übber nerd and as such I could not accept the idea of having a cots home theatre setup, instead I decided to concentrate things on my computer system, that used to be my daily basis desktop workstation and now starts acumulating the place of my DVD player/TV set top box/PVR/etc

The reasoning behind idea was simple: My computer needed to be turned on 24x7, so instead of wasting CPU cycles (and electricity) pluging other equipment on my living room, better to concentrate things.

So far so good, the system seems to work without major issues BUT... this setup requires me to pass a pair of cables accross half of my apartment (1xHDMI, 1xDigital Audio).

Looking at the sparky debate I've understood it is illegal to do electrical work on your own here in Australia.

Is it legal to do audio/video cabling on my own or do I need to call a licensed cabler? The apartment I'm living is rented and my original idea is to pass cables under the carpet with a fish tape.
