running cables in extension

dwiseman

Hi I'm just looking for some advice regarding cables for tv setup. I've just reached the plastering stage in an extension I've built to the rear of the house.

In my current setup I have sky plus in the front living room and what I was hoping to do was move the sky plus to the rear extension, install free to air or saorview in the front living room and have some kind of magic eye setup to send the sky plus to the front living room. When complete I will have the sky plus box in one corner of the extension and the tv will be wall hung on the opposite wall.

So I was wondering what cables will I need to run from the new tv position back to the sky box and what cables will I need running for the skyplus box?

Sorry to ramble on but all suggestions and advice is greatfully received!

Here's what I did during our extension.

2 coax cables from dish to sky box.
1 coax cable from aerial to sky box (rf in)
1 coax cable from sky box (rf out) to sky eye splitter, then ran cables from there to other tv's in house providing soarview/sky eye functions.
Also ran in extra coax from dish to other sat boxes in the house (freesat).

For putting skyplus box on one side of the room and tv on other, I would run scart, hdmi (you might upgrade at some stage) between the 2 points.
