Distributing Television To Several Rooms

Posts: 457 Forumite
We have four televisions in our house which are watched regularly and I have had this hairbrained idea that I want to be able to watch everything on every television. Also I am sick of all the cables draped inside and outside the house. At the moment we have European satellite to one tv, Sky multiroom to 2 tvs and then Digital tv to the 2 others.
I have read up a little bit about loft boxes but would want the loft box in the spare room rather than the loft (for easy access).
As I see it, I would have the loft box in the spare room, then send the cables up into the loft then back down to the rooms. The two bedrooms are directly above the sitting room and the kitchen which is where the other 2 tvs are. I would also plan to put internet cable through as well.
My question is, has anyone else done this. Ideally I would want to get someone in to do it but what sort of cost am I looking at. Are we talking a few hundred pounds (hopefully
) or are we talking about thousands in which case I will dismiss my idea as a piped dream.

Have you seen the Satcure website? Lots of useful info there. I used a Triax loftbox to distribute Sky + terrestial round my house. It also distributes FM,DAB and CCTV if you wish. Your talking a couple of hundred not thousands for the equipment cables etc, no idea what install would cost though.0

Thanks, yes, I receive his e mails and that is where I got the idea that it is doable But I am a bit overwhelmed by the information there and I am a bit worried that I don't know what would be best for the equipment we have (and also a bit nervous that I buy something that will be out of date in a year's time).
Just had a quick look and the info is very detailed but does make some sense but it talks about soldering.
If it is hundreds then I am keen to get it done.Ditch 100 in January Challenge 100/100
