Sony Freesat TV connection
Posted by: Willie B on 20 January 2010
Hi - I bought a Sony 37W5810 TV over Christmas. The TV incorporates Freesat and the installer is coming tomorrow to fix up the dish etc.
I have a TV amplifier in the loft which receives separate TV and FM signals and distributes them to the various TVs and radios around the house.
My question is should I get the installer to wire the dish direct to the roof aerial ampifier - this means the signal could also go to another TV (although I would need a separate Freesat receiver for it of course)? This solution would also have more WAF as no need for a further socket in lounge and probable mess from drilling hole in wall to get cable through. Or am I misunderstanding something and the satellite signal must have its own cable and cannot share the existing one?
On a related matter are some aerial cables better than others or all they all much of a muchness?
Thanks for any help
Willie
