[QUOTE="bf2k, post: 648802, member: 336358"] Hi all Can I please ask for your advise on the following situation as well as possible equipment that I might need and cable types. I do have some limited knowledge in this area but want to make totally sure before I spend a lot of someone else's money :) I am currently renovating a relatives house and have come to install the entertainment systems that he wants in. He doesn't want to see any wires trailing so I'm going to bury everything into the walls. He also want to future proof the installation now whilst he's in renovation state and give himself the most flexibility by installing everything now. He wants to be able to receive the following: [B]Living Room Feed 1[/B] Sky+ HD Freeview Virgin Media DAB/FM [B]Living Room Feed 2[/B] Sky+ HD Freeview Virgin Media DAB/FM [B]Master Bedroom[/B] Satellite - 2 feeds (for Freesat HD, for example) Freeview DAB/FM Sky link from Living Room Feeds Virgin Link from Living Room Feeds [B]Second Bedroom[/B] Satellite - 2 feeds (for Freesat HD, for example) Freeview DAB/FM Sky link from Living Room Feeds Virgin Link from Living Room Feeds [B]Third Bedroom[/B] Satellite - 2 feeds (for Freesat HD, for example) Freeview DAB/FM Sky link from Living Room Feeds Virgin Link from Living Room Feeds All 4 rooms are to also have telephone points for the equipment as well. He also wants the option of putting his TV, sky, ect at either end of the room, this is why there are two feeds to the living room. I have attached a diagram on how I believe the Distribution of the Satellite, Freeview and DAB/FM Feeds will work (FILENAME: SAT ETC DISTRIBUTION.pdf). I plan on using a diplexer in each of the rooms using the following connections: [B]Living Room points[/B] 2 SAT 1 TV 1 DAB/FM 1 Telephone [B]Bedroom points[/B] 2 SAT 1 TV 1 DAB/FM 1 Telephone These will be fed from a multiswitch in the loft. At the moment he has 1 digital aerial and I plan on installing another for the DAB/FM signal and get a local installer to pop up a Satellite Dish. Both the digital aerials will be fitted with a Mast Head and all the switches will be located in the loft. I have attached another diagram to show how I plan to feed the Sky/Virgin link to the bedrooms using magic eyes (I figured he'll never have Sky & Virgin together, it'll always be one or the other) (FILENAME: SAT ETC DISTRIBUTION2.pdf). I plan to put a separate TV point in the Living Room and Bedrooms for this. Because he wants the option to have his TV at either end of the living room I am planning on combining the two RF Returns in one cable. Is this a correct solution. I simply plan on taking the incoming Virgin feed to a splitter (4 ways?) and feeding that back to the two living room points and one off to where ever he may want a broadband router. This type of setup I understand uses coaxial cable (i.e. WF100). I have learnt about another setup called AV Distribution??? Is this a better, simpler solution? Thank you in advance Andy [/QUOTE]
