Aerial & Sat Socket

Sorry if this in the wrong place, but can't find anywhere or fitting

I'm after an aerial and satellite socket (two ports in one facepanel)

I've tried the usual HmeBse, Wiks, BnQ but can't find anything.

Re: Aerial & Sat Socket

Vex,

Thanks, it looks like your link may be the better of the two.

Being a noob in the satellite world and looking to get HD freesat installed (self install) I think I need a twin F module port (going through same hole in wall as the aerial cable) and aerial port socket.

I'm getting a quad LNB from a friend for free this week (current is single LNB). So should I try and to find a quad F module and aerial socket to make full use of the LNB. (does one even exist?)

Re: Aerial & Sat Socket

You will only need a twin satellite feed if you plan to use a decoder box which can record one channel while you are watching another.

I doubt you would need to present all four feeds from the dish at the same point unless you then need to distribute on from there to other rooms.

If you are just doing it to connect a local box to the two F's and a TV module in a single gang plate should be fine.

Oh and Quad plates dont really exist, the simple alternative would be two twin F's next to each other.

HTH
