SAT cable or coax?

[yellowvanman]

1st fix - rewire - house has already got an aerial, owners not sure if there are going to get a dish.

Was going to put a distribution box up in the loft and wire from there - if I use SAT cable to all TV points will it still be OK for terrestrial digital?

Yes, ideal

if the sat is going to be used with sky plus you will need 2 coax's to the box

Yes, got that - actually the last time I did this I took 3 cables to the main TV point and 1 to all the others.

I did some flats in london years ago
3 coaxs and 2 cat 5e's to each telly
btw that job had Cat5e to the light switch (no T&E)

If the customer options for it, might be worth taking two cables to each point. If they was to get multi room it would save them at a later date
