sky+ multi room Help please

[beaver74]

Greetings

Pricing up a new build that needs 7 sky+ feeds through out. now I normally don't get these jobs. obviously I will be using satellite quality ct100 and keeping clear of mains cable. but my question is how are these systems wired.

I know sky +needs 2 coax's
but do these:
1 go to a central device and get spit from there.
2 go around the house on a daisy chain
3 need a separate coax from the LNB 20 each point (there a 7 in total)

any help would be most welcome

Hi Beaver74, there is a Sky forum thread further down the list you might want to ask someone on there who has a bit more knowledge with these systems.

your best bringing each box back to a central distribution point. then that central point will have a large splitter. then you will need a 4 core sat cable to the dish.

You would need a multiswitch, which will allow the distribution of the sky+ signal.

Depends what they want and if they have multiroom in each room (i.e. how rich they are). If they do have multiroom in each room then you need a shotgun (double co-ax) from the dish to each room (and probably two dishes). If they are just distributing the signal from one box to each room you just need one coax from each box to a distribution amplier. You also need to consider that they will probably want to use magic eyes in each room.
