I saw that my query has been answered elsewhere on the forums but here goes nothing, I am sure that there must be others in the same situation.
I am about to move into a new build soon. I am looking for some advice as to the configuration of the aerials that I will need/want.
The builders thoughtfully added a cable to the roof space of the house for the analogue aerial (I presume) that then splits into 4/5 to the various rooms and bedrooms. Each of these rooms have their own aerial socket. BUT from what I can gather this is neither useful or necessary as we are having SKY plumbed in.
We are Sky subscribers but all I see on various websites is the advice that independant installers will make a better job of the dish installation than the Sky guys.
I have a media home hub set up on my wireless network so I can cast games to tv and control my pc from the tv if i should wish. I am proficient in computers having fixed laptops etc, so any clever ideas for the new house would be appreciated.
From what I can gather, Sky will not use the cables that the builder installed, and will drill a fresh hole for the cable that will run from dish to wall socket. BUT after checking the sockets that the builder has put in they are single aerial sockets and nothing like the picture that was posted in the similair thread here. Does that mean that the SKY fitters will fit the right face plates.
For analogue tv will I need a booster box at the junction to split into the seperate rooms? is there any other kit I could use here as well?
Any thoughts are very welcome, I am thinkiing that I will get an independant fitter in to have a look, but thank you in advance.
