..I would like to install Ethernet cables into upstairs bedrooms and run them down to the modem which I may place just inside the front door?..The telephone wire/box is currently just inside the front door also..there's a wall Esb socket here also..
I don't know where the best location for modem is...If I put the modem in the tv room, then I'll have to route the Ethernet cables to this location which may be more of a pain?.....

also looking at putting Ethernet cables into downstairs rooms also.....

I also wanted to put a Saorview /free to air type aerial into the attic and run tv cables to bedrooms and rooms down stairs etc....

I'm prepared to get some carpet and floor boards ripped up -to do a neater job on getting Ethernet and tv cables installed everywhere....
Is this the best way of hiding them?
Any ideas of how best it can be done to hide them?

To future proof doing this, what's the type of Ethernet cable I should install? I would like to use cable that's well capable of using gigabit broadband ...
From looking into it here previously -I heard of people using cat 6 a cable?
Is this the cable I should get installed?

I guess it makes sense to try to get the one person to install both the Ethernet and tv cables and to keep costs down etc....has anyone been through this and have they any recommendations of who might be able to quote me to do both jobs ?..
Would electricians install both or is there somewhere else I should look?..I'm in Clondalkin , Dublin 22..what other trade may do this?
Any advice would be appreciated..thanks]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2057687274/where-do-television-sockets-cabling-terminate-at-in-house Sat, 31 Dec 2016 00:57:31 +0000 Electrical Andy From Sligo 2057687274@/discussions
