Satellites and coaxial cable info. needed.

[gingermartin]

Hi all, I am helping build a house with Cat6 and coaxial cables to all rooms. The 1st fix sparky's have been in and ran 1 coaxial cable from each room to the fusebox area for making off. I have a couple of questions.
1. Shouldn't the cables run direct to the satellite dish if they can (as its all new and easy to do) to cut down on joiners/splitters?
2. Shouldn't they have at least 2 coaxial cables to kitchen, living room so recording can happen as well as watching?
Thanks to any insight.

depwnds on how the house is being wired really.

If it's CaT6 to each room so you can use an hdmi matrix then one coax to each TV for freeview is fine. Coax would normally run back to a central point, which the would have multiple runs from it to the sat dish.

Depends how it is intended to be used
