Sky and telephone points

[Hellmooth]

Doing a rewire and need to sort a couple of sky points and reroute the BT master point, haven't done it before, few questions I would appreciate some help with.

1) need to run sky cable to 2 points, is rg6 the cable I need?
2) is standard 4 pair telephone cable ok for the bt master point?
3) there is a few bt points in the house, how do I find out what one is the master and how do I extend this to move it to another location? All the cable is to be under the floor so would be looking to join the incoming bt cable and extend it under the floor, so a junction of some sort under the floor as it isn't long enough to reach the position it is needed.

Thanks in advance!

Unless your customers are using old sky boxs there's No sky point needed for multi room any more the new multi room boxs don't have an f connector to connect the dish, only the main box will need connecting to the dish.

How do the new boxes connect up?

Wifi or Ethernet for the multi room boxs, the Main box still needs a twin feed.

Am I correct in thinking that new Sky boxes don't allow a 9 or 12V phantom power output to allow for a magieye? And if so, is the only alternative forking out for multiroom?

The new box doesn't support any magic-eyes or have any rf outputs the best solution if you don't want to pay sky for additional boxes would be to split the hdmi output and use an ir injector.

the latest sky box (9th February) no longer has an I/O port, so the above would be no use

I use one to control Sky box as its hidden in a cupboard. Is there any way of doing this with the new boxes?

Cheers fisher. Here's hoping my 5+ year old sky plus box lasts another 10 years then! Although saying that, it will prob be all WiFi then in 4K.
