I'm quite a technophobe...


Can anyone recommend what cabling I need to run in the walls for satellite and tv points for an entire house?


Is it just standard coaxial cable?

Run two coax and a two cat5 the cat5 will allow you to run video down them at a later date. Two coax would mean the sky box can go somewhere. If you can run four to the main location then you have the two for sky plus one for the rf2 return and one for the tv antenna

The best co-ax cable to use is WF100. Also known as CT100. It's not the cheapest but worth the extra £ over lesser cables.

Just for reference wf100 is not the same as CT100.

They are from the same manufacturer but are completely different on make up.

Btw. WF100 every time for me.
