FTA set up

bernard0368 · 2011-07-04 15:21:39

I have a FTA setup at the moment which works great, however I was wondering is there a way to hook this up to the prewired tv points in a duplex. As it stands the dish is at the back of the hose as is the sitting room. So no problems there, however our bedroom is in the front of the house, running the cable over the roof…

As it stands the dish is at the back of the hose as is the sitting room. So no problems there, however our bedroom is in the front of the house, running the cable over the roof is out as there is an apartment above us. The junction box is also in the front.

Any thoughts.

Trace the cable from the tv point in the bedroom to where it finishes,simply join that to a cable from the dish using proper joiners and f-connectors.

What I did was remove the tv socket on the wall and removed the connector at the back completely and ran the cable straight through the hole in the centre to avoid signal loss,it looks perfect and there's no plugs and sockets to come loose.
