Hi all
I am looking to install a booster/splitter to serve 6-8 TV points. Currently I have Sky to one room and a co-ax back to the loft where the splitter will be.
What I want to do if possible is input:
Sky box output Digital terrestrial arial signal Possible freeview box output Maybe future surveillance cameras
into the splitter and then distribute all this to the 6 or 8 TV points around the house.
What is the ideal kit for this please?
TIA
Phil
I bought a Philex loftbox SLX8 for my installation and it worked a treat and has a funky blue LED on it!
I have SAT/FM and Terrestrial piped to my gym, kitchen, lounge and bedrooms. I plan to get my media centre piped through too in the near future once I finish my other projects.
Take a look at this website, it has a shed load of information which you will find very helpful, I certainly did.

Thanks Richard
Was all of your install brand new?
The reason I ask is because, looking at the Satcure site, the use of existing co-ax is not recommended. Did you use any existing cabling, if so what age is it? My house is 1970s build and has two drops from loft to lounge that I intend to re-use. Having re-furb'd the loung and had it skimmed, SWMBO wouldn't take kindly to me channelling the walls out again!

Not sure what went wrong there, but I posted a reply to this sometime ago! oh well here goes again:
I have not replaced all my old coax, I have made use of an existing run for the return, I think if I remember rightly. My house was built in
1986 so this coax run will be very old and the picture quality I get is fine, I am fussy about these types of things. I too had my house re-plastered so for the other runs to the other rooms I decided to run this on the outside of the building down from the loft and installed triplexed decombiner plates in each room (apart from gym) which would allow me to plug another SAT decoder/TV or radio in.HTH

I mean 1896.....fat fingered!

That's *very very* old coax in that case :-)
Was it a gas powered telly?
