Wiring from satellite dish

    Hi
    I currently have a dish with just one cable.
    If I fit a quad LNB, what is the best way to wire the cabling into the rooms upstairs?
    (The current cable which runs downstairs into the sitting room is fine, but I want to add 3 cables for rooms upstairs).

    I would get a satellite installer to do it but was just wondering if it's destructive? I'd prefer to run the cables through partition walls but I don't want any damage in the attic.

    Is it ok to run satellite cable over insulation or should it really be put through the joists? Seems a bit dodgy and I'd rather not do it if it involves a lot of drilling through the roof.

    Every installation is different. There's no need to be drilling joists, if you're happy enough for the cable to sit above the insulation, then so be it. Just leave it tidy and not a tripping hazard if possible.

    You can run the cables from the dish in through the soffit and save drilling walls, (depending on where dish is located of course).

    From the ceiling to the termination point you can run some white pvc trunking thatwill hold the cable and hide the hole from at the ceiling.

    Thanks I think I'll just bring it down through pvc trunking.
