Hi,
I want to enquire what would be considered necessary with respect to data points and tv points in a new build?
My current spec is for cat 5 cabling from all bedrooms and living areas back to a central hub in the utility room.
Regarding tv points, I also have spec'd for coax cables from all these rooms to an antenna on the roof
The master bedroom, the living area's will also be hard wired for telephone connections.
I want to make sure my points are sufficient should I need to install Sky in the future, use internet tv or network to a central printer etc.
I am not very technical in this respect therefore I would appreciate any advice as I am sure there are other things that I haven't though of.
Am I correct in thinking that all the cat 5e data cables will run back to a utility hub in the utility room and this hub effectively works as a home server. Are these hubs widely available or do you have to go down the smart homes route??
Am I also correct in thinking that for any room where I want a tv that I should install two co-ax cables and if I want to add sky at this point that I should have four co-ax points? Will all these co-ax cables be routed to a central point in the attic space??
Finally, if I want to install a sky dish at some stage what do I need? A dish outside with a co-ax cable running to the central location in the attic. Is there a requirement for a phone point or data point for sky? What provisions do I need to make regarding a hole to take the wire into the attic?
Is it possible to play a DVD in the main living room and watch it in the master bedroom? If so, then what do I need to do??
Should I run my coax cables back to the utility room also or just leave them in the attic??
Finally, if I wanted to put in a central music system, what type of cabling would I need to run to the speakers and should I also channel it back to the utility room?
