sky f type point help

[mswesty]

hi
after first fixing a house the other week i was asked if i could run some sky cables in , i of course did and ended up with the following

dual cable to dish position from main tv area . with single cable to second tv position from main tv area . all coiled up into a single metal back box .

my question is is there a good supplier that sells 1 gang with 3 f type outlets ?

my usual suppliers havent got anything to suit.

any advice welcome )

cheers

You can get the fronts/frames and Euro modules to make them up. CEF and Wilts do them as I have bought from both.

Euro double blank drill three holes in it to accept three f plug couplers then connect the cables in the back box to the backs of the couplers they then act like fixing nuts. So you should end up with three f plug terminals on a single plate

You cannot spur sky points let me explain I have Sky+ sky multiroom and a freesat receiver built into my tv so thats 2 points for Sky + and a point each for multiroom and freesat with 4 cables run to the dish with a quad LNB fitted in other words a 4 way cone fitted on the end of the dish .

Sky + is a twin receiver hence why it needs two seperate cables the other 2 are single receivers 2+2 =4 if you could run more than 1 receiver off one cable the sky+ would only need one instead of 2

You can piggy back the signal to the bedroom you just need a magic eye connected to the living room box

Most of my house was original spured using additional sky handsets and a signal coder inline with the coax, have ditched it now so i have multiple receivers and multiple connections at LNB,
For the price nowadays i would go for quad LNB and cable from dish to all teles as that means you can watch 4 different programmes at the same time and keep her in-doors and her offspring happy, whilst i watch Synthia Rothrock on me tod

try cef or eurosat
you can get grid as suggested sat 1 sat2 return you can get a triax link to screw onto sat2 and plug into the return to send a feed to the other room

Buy a 1g brush plate, and bring the cables through that, much easier than a point

MK make them off the shelf no need to make anything will get the part numbers in a minute

 

[vjsmarwick]

K3554 DAB WHI quad tv/fm /dab / sat x2

 

[vjsmarwick]

Or if you want K3566 as above but on a double plate with bt slave

Brush plate much better option, lets face it, you then need to make up leads to go from the point to the back of the box anyway

a direct cable run, ( NO plates or joins at all ) is the best way to run sat cables.
