RE: general wiring issue



Thanks for all your input.

I think I'll be running both then.

TV coax means that you can add "output devices" for the cost of a
cheap
telly.

KAT5 means that you can add "high quality" output devices without
losing
the quality of your central components.

If you feel you might just want to bung a couple of cheap tellys around
the house in the future, then put in the coax.

If you are feel that you only want to put in high-end presentation
stuff, and are prepared to pay the hundred quid or so extra for a pair
of KAT5 units at each telly, then CAT5 only is fine.

I use CAT5 only. I watch very little broadcast telly, and I use KAT5...

I'm about to start wiring Cat 5 in my house.

Because of the layout of the house, its VERY easy to
add extra pulls later with NO channelling needed at all
(are you all jealous yet - the advantages of 2 up 2 down
terraced bliss - those Victorians obviously knew the future
for house cabling...)

my general Q is, assuming I'm re-routing my terrestrial
TV coax back to Node 0 (under the stairs), do I need to bother
running TV coax to each room as Mark did in his house, or
should I just lay extra CAT5 to take the TV signals using KAT5?

any thoughts?

Subject: [ukha_d] OT: someone offered me a CDRW Drive on #UKHA


I was chatting on the IRC channel the other day and someone mentioned
that they had a cdrw drive going cheap.

My last "Bargain" was DOA so I would be interested in it now...

If it's still available can you drop me a line off-list.

Cheers

Steve

PS. I want it to back up my HA stuff (creeping back on topic)
