RE: cables. was HA system networks

["James, Daniel" <daniel.james@xxxxxxx>]

The other thing to consider is when you come to sell your house...

A distributed Coax system will be easier for the next owner to use, and
will
be a good selling point. (TV points in all rooms...)

If you are selling to the majority of the UK, they won't have a clue what
to
do with the Cat5, but the coax will make sense.

just my 0.02p

Anyone thought about producing a manual for the house for when they
sell?

Regards

Daniel

Andy,

Not sure if it makes you feel any better but I'm following exactly the
same
route as you. I've pre-wired for coax ('cos I can afford to connect with
it
now) _and_ Cat5 ('cos I hope I can afford to connect with it in the
future).

Cheers,

Tim.

Grrrr.  I was feeling bad enough about having to use coax without
this!

Heh!

Andy (stuck with coax until he can afford KAT5)
