Hi there,
I'm planning on rewiring my house and want to put in all the cables necessary to have sky HD in most rooms, How do I go about going this, I know I have to run coax to all the rooms, do I run CAT 5 aswell? How do they connect into the sky box? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Current set up is.
Living room sky+ hd with 2 cables direct to dish.
Bedroom 1 (my room) coax from sky+ hd box to magic eye.
Bedroom 2 sky+ another 2 cables to dish.
Bedrooms 3 & 4 have freeview boxes with portable arials.
What i want to do is to put a standard sky box (which i have) into...

does anyone know of a range of wiring accessories that has all the 1 gang, 2 gang sockets light switches etc and also the sky connection plate similar to a normal coaxial socket.
thanks in advance
