RE: Sorry to harp on but.....

["Ian" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably not - the losses are too high going through those face plates.

I have a situation similar to what you describe - I can plug my digibox in
downstairs in the living room, or upstairs at node zero.

The feed from my dish is split using one of these - http://tinyurl.com/6lj3g
(or you could use this: http://tinyurl.com/5y42l  but don't use
the four way
unless you need it!)

The cables then run onward to node zero and the living room. The next
important thing is at the wall - DON'T use the cheepo faceplates - unless
your signal strength is top notch, they will give lots of little sparkly
noise and mpeg frame breakups (or at least, they did for me)

The best way to get the cable out into the room is to use a blank
faceplate,
drill a hole in it, and use  one of these: http://tinyurl.com/44y3l to join
the Cable - the F plugs allow the actual copper core to run as
uninterrupted
as possible from the dish to your digibox.

Hope that helps!

Ian.

Hi All,

Sorry for another post on the same subject but with Xmas looming tomorrow
is
the only opportunity I will get to go and buy the cable and bits I need....

Can somebody advise whether http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?
MenuNo=903&MenuName=WALL+Plates&FromMenu=y&doy=22m12 will
provide me with
two areas with which I could possibly place my Sky digibox. To reiterate, I
don't want two digiboxes running at the same time but two possible
locations
to house it.

I'm looking for a plug 'n play low-cost solution and though that the maplin
product may surfice.

TIA
Darren
