Re: Do I Really Need To Run Coax? ['Watchdog': checked]

You may also want to run a coax cable from the back of your living room AV
=
=0D
amp to the location of a powered sub if you a planning one.  My sub is =0D
hiding behind an arm chair in the corner of the room so a coax needed =0D

I'm not sure it is....I'm trying to find out why it's often suggested to =
=0D
run co-ax. =0D
=0D
Is it just for satellite signals or (some comments suggested) video...in =
=0D
case of the latter why shoudn't I just run an extra length of Cat5?=0D
=0D
On the point of a distributing satellite feeds...is there any point in =0D
having separate boxes over the house? Why not just contain them to node0 =
=0D
and then pipe the content into room TVs directly?=0D
=0D
That surely makes sense as you can have much better HA control over it and
=
=0D
the pictures can be moved around the house much easier.=0D

Hi=0D
Doesn't this all depend on whether you intend to =0D
use terrestial signal / satellite signal as =0D
source.? If "yes" then do you intend to decode remotely from the
TV?=0D
If you intend to use TV tuner or Freeview PVR, =0D
Freesat or Sky boxes adjacent to the TV in =0D
question then the signal needs to reach the device.=0D
If not, then coax to the set is redundant (except =0D
for property resale to technophobes).=0D
Or is it me that is missing something?=0D
