Hi,
Looking for some help.
I will be moving into a new house in July/August and I am looking installing a small Home Hub system.
The builder has a company that will supply and install a system for me. They have suggest the following setup:
BT Line - Run a Cat 6 cable from the data cabinet to a position at the front of the house where it will be connected to the BT line.
Virgin Media Supply – Run a single Coaxial shotgun cable from the cabinet to the front of the house next to the BT cable.
5 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 cables to be run from the data cabinet into the attic (CCTV)
Ground floor from Data cabinet to:
Lounge - 2 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
Family/Breakfast -2 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
Kitchen -1 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
Dining/Study - 1 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
1st floor from Data cabinet to:
Bedroom 1 – 1 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
Bedroom 2 – 1 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
Bedroom 3 – 1 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
Bedroom 4 – 1 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
Bedroom 5 – 1 x Coaxial Shotgun cable & 2 x Cat6 Cables
The Builder will install:
TV Aerial points to Lounge, Family, Dining/Study and Bedroom 1
Telephone points to Lounge, Family, Dining/Study and Bedroom 1
I will get the Home Hub Company to install a TV Aerial and Satellite Dish with quad LNB at the same time.
The Company has suggested that add 4xHDBaseT Matrix system and use HDMI outputs to TV in Lounge, Family, Dining/Study and Bedroom 1 which will be an extra cost of £1500. Then I could use one sky box and a cleaner system in the rooms.
I do like the idea of the HDBaseT Matrix system but may need to add later due to cost. If I do will I need any more Cat6 or run in HDMI Cables?
I have the chance to add extra Coaxial or Cat6 cables to any rooms to be on the safe side.
Any advice would be welcome as I like to this right.
Thanks
Simon
