HI, Need to sort out first fix requirments for our kitchen/living area extension thing over the next couple of days. So need to figure our TV distribution requirements.
Currently we distribute TV round the house only by Coax RF (sky 2nd output style) - but then all our TVs till now are CRTs which I anticipate we'll "migrate" to something newer in the next 6 months/year, so want to provide for that now. Also I'm going to have a central cupboard for gadgets (mini node zero) so possibly a sky box or the topfield etc could go in there. Any cabling could go back there, though if taking a direct sat feed to the TV then probably that should go direct?
I know pretty much where we might want TVs, question is what do I need to "run" to these locations?
Would the following be a reasonable combination (to each location) that should cover all bases?
- decent quality coax (I have a reel of the foam 'filled' variety)
- 1 or 2 ? i.e satellite direct and/or freeview?
- twin cat5 data (why run just 1 anywhere?)
