Satellite Cabling

randombar · 2010-11-17 20:25:58

Hi Lads, From my limited experience with satellite I'm just wondering am I better off bringing all the cables straight to the satellite or first to node 0 as ye call it and then to the satellite? I.E. My utility room. I've heard from a few different people that you're better off having one straight run?? Thanks Gary

Probably better off asking here.

You might want to also add what you plan to have at node 0, how you want TVs to be fed i.e. by sat cable or HDMI. Will DTT (a roof aerial) be in the picture, etc...
