TV Wiring

[chloebear]

Hi All,
I am currently wiring up a house (refurb) and they have requested a number of TV outlets - 10 in all - Now, not being a TV engineer and with the likes of Sky (no cable feed into the district) Freesat, Freeview etc etc, what would be the best way to go about wiring up the place. Do I need to put in a double feed to each socket or a single feed to each socket and just a twin feed to the main??????????????

I would put 2x sky going directly to the dish outside, 2x tv (1 being ariel in and other being ariel out to the amp)
and then 1x coax to each other point in the house.
Hope this makes sense

4x WF100 from dish to central location (under stairs or loft etc..)
2xWF100 from TV + FM aerial to central location
3x WF100 from Lounge (2g 35mm Backbox) to central location
Then 1 from Central location to each outlet

I reccomend using a Global loftbox with a Triax Quadplex lounge plate, make sure TV points are non-isolated

This will let you have Sky+/HD in the lounge, with Freeview and FM and each room will have the RF2 Sky picture and Freeview.
If you want sat to the other rooms you might be best off sending 2x WF100 to each tv but i think its a bit overkill in most cases.

if they decide to go the sky route would they need a phone point in each room where there is going to be a TV

Currently converting an old pub into two houses. The company doing the TV work want 2 x ct100 and 2 x cat 5 cables to every TV point from the hub apart from the main TV room where they want an extra ct100 cable. They also want six ct 100 cables from the hub to the dish and/or aerial location. Double back boxes 35mm deep.
