RE: Sky Dish and NTL cable

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I will use a new single piece of cable as a matter of course for
the
reasons you say plus more connections could lead to more to go faulty.

As for distribution I have the cable coming int  the living room and into
some box thing then out int  the NTL box, from there it is scart t  the TV
and VCR. I assume scart is the way to go? s  some sort of distribution
system needs sourcing, as I just said in a reply to Kenneth Watt. Any
suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks,

B.
