Re: Do I Really Need To Run Coax?



Hi
Doesn't this all depend on whether you intend to=20
use terrestial signal / satellite signal as=20
source.? If "yes" then do you intend to decode remotely from the
TV?
If you intend to use TV tuner or Freeview PVR,=20
Freesat or Sky boxes adjacent to the TV in=20
question then the signal needs to reach the device.
If not, then coax to the set is redundant (except=20
for property resale to technophobes).
Or is it me that is missing something?
