[QUOTE="cauliflower, post: 700890, member: 286980"] Best bet is to keep cable runs to a minimum. Which is closer to the dish and aerial I presume the attic, so in there will be fine. go for a 5/12. Just moved into a house and rewired the whole lot. Have 1 x good quality Shotgun cable, 1 x co-ax cable for return feeds. 5/12 multiswitch then in each room is 2 x Cat 5 or HD Streaming, 1 x Cat5 for networking, 1 x tel line. All in to triplexed faceplate with return path on one side. Edit: just been looking and can anybody shed some light on the below description of the faceplate ( I know what it means just never knew this could be done ) Global TV/FM/SAT + SAT2/Ret Outlet (SDO/03) This outlet plate can be used either as Quad plate for a single tuner Digibox or for a Sky+ / Sky HD installation. The Sat 2 connection can be also used as a combined Sat / Return provided suitable DC passing diplexers are used at both ends of the feed cable. [/QUOTE]
