Hi,
First post, so apologies if this question has been asked before. I'm (hopefully) purchasing a new build home in the next month and from vising the property and reading the specification list it appears to be fitted with what's described as a a Star wired telecom structure with cat 5e/6 cable and pre-wired for HD distribution and satelite with HD and ethernet cables in all rooms.
I'm looking to get Sky Q but I'm not clear on how this setup would work. The HD and ethernet seems to come from a central hub in a cupboard in the hall. Does anyone have this setup already as it seems to be fairly standard from the new builds ive seen? Are you able to connect a sky box to the hub for the content to then feed to all rooms, or are boxes required in each room? In the former how would changing channel work? I understand SKy Q uses WiFi rather than just the dish so does it make the wiring somewhat redundant.
Apologies if these are stupid questions but the construction company aren't really helping to explain.
